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. Four lines from "Across the Great Plains" Written August 24, 2021 Abstracted August 30, 2021 Submitted to "Liberum Divisa 7" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Gregory Richard Barden

Thank you, Delice. I don't know whether they are winning words, but I certainly enjoyed writing them.

Terrific visualization "distant farmhouses Dwarfed by gigantic silos awaiting harvest."

Thanks. I like these lines because they remind me of what we saw all through Iowa and South Dakota.

Yes, I should think so. I'm not sure they were all empty, but they sure were imposing.
