Andrea Dietrich Poet Kyrielle

Prairie Whispers

We hear the prairie whispering
when meadow lark is on the wing
and pipit echoes a refrain.
Sweet solitude is his domain.

The sigh of breeze through blades of wheat;
a distant farm in summer’s heat -
Still life - but for the shifting vane.
Sweet solitude is its domain.

Midst blazing stars of purple hue,
I murmur while caressing you.
The soft wind, moaning, strokes the plain.
Sweet solitude is our domain.

We hear the prairie whispering. . . 
Sweet solitude is my domain.

Robert Johnson September 25, 2011 at 1:07 PM The gentle wave of prairie grass. Sorry! The word I want to rhyme is very crass. This pretty poem makes me reminiss. Of the Jody Husentruit story, who we so dearly miss. You see, I wrote a poem about her, titled Prairie Princess. She was from Long Prairie,MN. She anchored the news in Mason City, IA.
