Gail Foster Poet Tanka

Bromham Fields

autumn rainbows stripe
vegetable september
across bromham fields;
roundway island, hazed in mist
on a marrow orange sea

wiltshire sunbeams fall
gold on the cockle pickers
green fields, fishermen;
down fruit littered ditches glint
glitter strewn rivers of light

Daniel Turner September 16, 2016 at 9:21 PM I love the imagery, Gail. I had to look up exactly what bromham was and found out it is in Wiltshire. Thanks for teaching me something today:) Gail Foster September 17, 2016 at 3:56 AM My pleasure, and thanks for the read. I go through Bromham on the bus sometimes, and the views across the striped fields of Oliver's Camp and Roundway Hill are just lovely. I've been wanting to describe them for a while. All the best to you.
