(ALLITERATION)
Cows milked: mitigated mooing in the meadows then
Weaving on the warp, some workaholic women

A novel that I haven’t read
Is Fifty Shades of Grey.

Even though it comes, from so many years ago;

Cotton from the cottonwoods flying through the air,
Making whitened dapples on my palomino mare;

One day, if I could open my eyes
and watch you walkthrough
the sweet blue rain, and
