Tin Fields

It's rained for two weeks Sky and streets are shades of steel Aluminum tulips erupt on asphalt lawns echoing pewter leaves Graphite blades burst through sidewalks having grown impatient in seeds sought by swarms of silver locusts come to devour our tin fields 1st Place Early Summer Standard Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand Submitted: 6/2/17

"silver locusts come to devour our tin fields." very cool Dale. The entire poem was kind of abstract and I liked it.
