September poems and photos
quiet music
autumn sun
reaches my chair
early fall
small brown blanket
from my mother’s home
adds beauty and warmth
to the sunroom
gold leaves
drift to ground
sunbeam
on the water

warm memories
warm memories
and new dreams

Poems for Flowers
Poems from over the years
how does it stay
so regal on this day?
Queen Anne’s Lace
wearing
my old sweater
worn thin
Queen Anne’s Lace
along country roads
road work leads
to another way home
wildflowers
loved for years
and now I know your name
blue chicory

Daily Haiku: May 27, 2017
each flower
a star for a time
daylilies
clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar
with the last
of the carnations
growing older
goldenrod and roses
refreshed by rain
Blessings,
Ellen Grace Olinger

Books by Luci Shaw
I am thinking more about the years and decades that I’ve been reading books by Luci Shaw.
The Biographical Information at her site may be of interest. She was born in London, England in 1928.
Two examples of her poetry books on my shelves are:
LISTEN TO THE GREEN – Copyright 1971 Luci Shaw. Harold Shaw Publishers; Wheaton, Illinois.
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: poems – Copyright 2018 Luci Shaw. Paraclete Press; Brewster, Massachusetts.
She writes about her life and growing older in a generous way.
You can also view her Photo Gallery.
