Red Barn

Once it was colored an autumnal red now it is a russet prop for the sunset. The land has stacked evening around it, a delving dusk has laid down years of richly plowed shadows. Within each cranny and niche, each time-worn grain, a soft twilight abides even under daylights ferreting glare. Seen against a late ebbing horizon the barn blooms beyond its timbers, it deftly fills-in the blush of any half-painted sky.

Hello Eric Ashford, you get kicked out of the barns you enter! Even when the barns are dilapidated? Why? Enjoy your evening my friend.

Thanks again for this review Darlene, yes a Dutch barn is my fave, but i get a kick out of all of them, even the dilapidated ones we occasionally find in the fields of Ohio. Have a good one. e
