A Drivel Runs Through It

Monday, June 20, 2005

Early summer, Montana

Blue sky. Sweat.
Hills like a cupped palm.
Blanketflower. Lupine.
Fairy rings and cow wallows.
Dalmatian toadflax.
Butterflies.
Fawn leg bones.
Whir of gnats.
Rock piles and wild roses.
Coyote den.
Magpies.
Snake. Sss.
Barbed wire and fenceposts.
Ponderosa pine.
Flash of yellow wing.
Salt lick.
Beetle-pocked cowpie.
Rusted trough.
Hoofprints in mud.
Whole world's
a poem.

Wow Patia, I like your descriptive writing. You should think about posting a pic a week and doing a similar description. Or invite others to do their own in the comments. Really nice! BTW, you've been tagged. ;0
