L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

The Vast Great Plains

Chasing the golden sun across America,
Expressing wonderment at the vastness
Of the Great Plains, distant farmhouses
Dwarfed by gigantic silos awaiting harvest.

Caren Krutsinger August 30, 2021 at 6:32 PM Terrific visualization "distant farmhouses Dwarfed by gigantic silos awaiting harvest." L Milton Hankins August 30, 2021 at 7:27 PM Thanks. I like these lines because they remind me of what we saw all through Iowa and South Dakota.

Sotto Poet August 30, 2021 at 2:51 PM On its own, this a great poem, and it has an amazing vivid imagery. Hats off to a win! L Milton Hankins August 30, 2021 at 3:16 PM Thanks, Lasaad. I can hope!

Rico Leffanta August 30, 2021 at 11:46 AM "Empty Silos" has its own verses . . . .. L Milton Hankins August 30, 2021 at 12:53 PM Yes, I should think so. I'm not sure they were all empty, but they sure were imposing.
