View Point
~
persuaded by time,
clothed in rust, a sky reveals
the hem of summer…
round green hills are strewn with oaks
as far as the eye can see….
kissing toes of a
barn-red house, acres of grass
stand at attention…
John Deere rides the afternoon
humming with satisfaction
under a pear’s shade
golden hound naps lazily …
one eye slides open…
for an occasional glance....
on guard for squirrels who thieve
