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 ~~ By Carrie Richards, for Francine's Contest: "the view" 9/7/11
