A Montage Moment

Black-headed flowers wear long drooping ruffled petal skirts.
A black crane, statuesque, stands in the tall green grass amongst them.
The tallest flower - distinctively blonde - has arms to touch the crane!

I see this very clearly, very vivid:) excellent write, Andrea. Thanks for your comments on "A Trip Out of This World"... I wouldn't have tried a leap in my poem- not coordinated enough for such a venture...I'd miss and end up lost in space:)
