leaves fall
by my study window
reach the earth
leaves fall
by my study window
reach gardens
where primroses,
hosta, and lilies grow
leaves fall
many sparrows play
many sparrows play
in evergreen trees
perfect harmony
calm weather
calm weather
still life arrangement
with quiet Fall colors
after rain sun
after rain sun
in the garden
where green plants
still grow and today
begins anew
raindrops
raindrops
on the window screen
in my small study
and then the birch tree
with green and gold leaves
and then evergreens
beyond the trees
grey sky with some blue
Poems: Rain and Seasons
Rain this morning, and thought I’d search my archives for poems about rain. Then I saw that I can add the idea of seasons. The poems are from over the years.
frozen raindrops
on birch tree branches
March Sunday
rain
on new seawall
built with limestone
from a Wisconsin
quarry
rain before dawn
I think about the peonies
almost ready to bloom
and those in the area
already bowed to the ground
rain and
near my window
first daylilies bloom
gold hosta leaves
and sounds of rain
October morning
morning rain
rereading familiar
poems of faith
winter rain
snow fences
ready to unroll
Summer beauty
Summer beauty
stays in my heart
yellow lilies from a store
in the blue vase
by a window
