A Verdant Memory

An abundant rural scene
Everywhere freshly green
Fields overladen with hay
Buttercups dot the meadow
Hedges white with may

See Grant Woods(1892-1942) Iowa rural scene paintings,especially Young corn & similar

Your poem as rich in imagery as his paintings. Just realized he is the one behind the famous painting of the farmer and his wife! Thanks Brian. Love, Shar
