yep, most folks except us Kansans don't realize that is where the expression "talking heads" comes from. Stalks that talk with heads of bread. Seriously, a very nice haiku, enjoyed muchly. |

Whippoorwills willing To sing in a new dawning Quiet at twilight ~*~ Strung wire whistling Herds turn to face southern skies Tails turned to the cold ~*~ The wind is in moan Cerulean skies darken Snow is in the air |

Having been there, I've heard the sounds of wheat. This is exceptional and with your permission, I'd like to print it out and keep it. Huggles, Marti “Prayer makes the heart large enough until it can contain God’s gift of Himself.” |

I think you have written many poems like this. It is like a miniature painting to me, and I'm glad I saw it. |
