All the good things about life in the country
Colors, tastes, shapesA work of artRed, green, purple, green, red, green,Orange, green, yellow, green, Black, greenGreen, green, greenBulbous, round, oval, pointed, curved,CylindricalSweet, tart, hot, mild.Someone knelt and planted seed.Someone watered. God gave sunlight.Time, more rain, time.God sent rain.A back bent,A hand harvested.An artist arranged.
Copper tiptoeing on an orange flowerOn thin legs like rough threadsWith wing spots like dusty silver;Work while the flowers bloom,Fly in the copper sunlight,While summer reigns gloriousOn the face of the year.
I can do it, Mommy.Let me try it now.My hands are big. My hands are super strong!Let me do it, Mommy.
