Short Poems: April 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

HOPE

I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

Psalm 18: 1 (KJV)

You are welcome to reprint my poems with proper credit. Ideas include bulletin boards in classrooms, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes – places where a short poem may be an encouragement to someone or help with a poetry lesson. If someone reads a poem, and thinks, “I can write too,” that is wonderful.

Artistic Flowers is by Christopher Dresser and courtesy of Reusable Art. I learn about artists and art history at Reusable Art, which is an excellent and well-organized resource.

Acrostic poems are by Ellen Grace Olinger.

WordPress Prompt – Honorific

Short Holiday Poems

ChristmasRoseTulip1

The prompt for July 12, 2015 was Honorific.  I choose a Christmas theme in summer, here in Wisconsin USA.

And the Word
was made flesh,
and dwelt among us . . .
full of grace
and truth.

From John 1:14 (KJV)

moments of grace

reflections of Christmas lights
on the water
