Summer's End

The earth looks tired Harvest home, the silos full Dust swirls in the breeze Birds inspect the dry rubble Hills long burnt by the sun, wait

You seem to always depict wonderfully descriptive visuals in so few words. To do so my poems become long winded stories... You are very talented.

wow, what a great way to do brown, Barbara. I had forgotten this color was in the contest and was trying to figure out what it was, but this poem surely depicts it! Congratulations on your beautiful tanka's win.

I did have a brown phase....I think I was brown paired with orange in my late teens early 20's and it does look great with a tan! Congrad's Light & Love
