Two Poems

autumn leaves
the caregiver finds time
to rest

“autumn leaves” was the Daily Haiku for August 14, 2019.

fragrance of leaves
in the gardens
what good friends
we became
as we grew older

“fragrance of leaves” is from my post for November 12, 2010 at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.

on my desk –
bleeding hearts in bloom

(Time Of Singing)

leaves of bleeding hearts
now gold
so do broken hearts mend
so does grief heal
Autumn grace

Poems by Ellen Grace Olinger

small plant
on my desk
Advent sun

quiet songs
my eyes rest upon
a small plant
and the new
Advent sun

From December 2020

These are new poems from posts this month at Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin.

raindrops
robin in a daylily
garden

after rain
the beautiful earth
and gardens grow

sunrise stillness
branches and clouds
light

late afternoon
sunlight on the
April calendar
one step one day
at a time

grey sky
mourning dove
on a birch tree branch

time with the Psalms
a dove on the branch
pictures a poem
