Rice Fields

Couds of gloomy white Silent water changed colours Between fresh green paddy The women in muddy water Planting rice for a new harvest Wolken in strahlendem Weiß Stilles Wasser im Farbwechsel Dazwischen frische Pflanzen Frauen im lehmigen Wasser Pflanzen Reis für die neue Ernte

Images of the Orient prevail in your poem, Gert. Have you been there? Can't imagine what it feels like to spend the day wading through the muddy water, but I sure do love rice. Thank you for giving us such great imagery. Love, Carolyn

Sounds like a picture I saw in a movie, except it was in China and the women where in muddy water picking rice, or something like that. Well done enjoyed..p.d.
