daylilies begin

Ellen Grace Olinger's avatarPoems From Oostburg, Wisconsin

daylilies begin
to bloom in sun
all the years
they grow, flower,
wait through winter
and return again

Karl has taken great care with the hosta and lilies through the years. They grow close to our old house. We keep the path to the back door clear, which means a few bouquets for the house. We have a well, and do not water the gardens. What is there grows well.

Happy Weekend

The 4th was depressing. I guess as one gets older, the younger days dissolve like disintegrating ash that scatter by the wayside.

It’s fun being considered old. I did not realize this till months ago, but it often slips my mind.

Have a good day & God bless.

Guitar next month

I just decided that guitar is my strongest instrument and that I should stick to it.

Was writing a traditional song with lyrics, but my voice isn’t the same as when I was younger.

I like the new sound that’s going on chemically-speaking. I’m excited to show you all.

In conclusion, although lyrics are great, I’m just going to keep my poems separate.

The new song I’m writing is coming out fantastic. The music is almost there. Just trying to arrange what I have thus far. I need more lyrics. So, this morning, I’m trying to focus on the words more than the arrangement.
