The sun beat down upon the old 4X4 truck Its bed piled high with children and hay Laughter filled the air as they jumped Dried grass tamped by small feet Arms and braids flew under mid day heat Skin, lightly burned, itched from sweat and straw Strong arms lifted the pitchforks Fragrance heaped Higher and higher to the clouds The sweet aroma of summer filled their senses Pure voices soared as children sang the songs of their fathers Off-key, off-color lyrics as their mothers blushed Eyes lit with humor, they playfully slapped their husbands to hush them Working and flirting before the rains came. aziza [This message has been edited by aziza (11-14-2006 12:07 AM).] |

this poem is what I would call a most grand example of the finest "slice-of-life" (Impressionism) poesy!..... I LOVE this poem....what a 'write'!.... it certainly greadly cheered what has been the burnt out end of an incredibly long and rather nasty day for me! |

You know, I was having a crappy day too and your response was like a bandaid on a child's boo boo. I magically feel better. Thank you, Alison |

It is strange how you can create a world with words that I long to be in, off colour lyrics and all. May I join you there one day? |
