Riverland

Restless river winds. winnowing valley farmland. In Father's garden chickens squawk, squabble. Silver sunlight dances. Hens spurn gardens bounty, for girl in dusty pants, rattling evenings grain bowl. Prancing single file behind fowl feet indent narrow path. Wind rustles treetops.

Thanks Dave...my first post on this site.. The poem started out to be Haiku but then changed it's mind.. Wanted to express more feelings than Haiku permits.. Still has some feeling of Haiku.. maybe under the surface. Nothing like dissecting one's own stuff.
