Barbara Gorelick Poet Tanka

Boys In a Field

Two boys in a field
Just passing the afternoon
Idle words spoken
Aware of the song of bees
The future only a dream

Andrea Dietrich February 8, 2013 at 4:53 PM I love the simplicity of this poem. I think it is the kind of painting I would have chosen too if I had to choose another one different from the one I did. You have taste like mine in art! Congrats.
