Puff Of Dust
A sun shinning,
as bright as a yolk
And honey
sweet of the comb drips
Into this day walking
the Farmer Gray
Such was the temper
of this particular path
Suddenly rising
a puff of dust
Result of the tractor's
rumbling wheels
chug chugging.

Gillena, love the sensory vitality in this. The summer dust of tractors against all of that beauty and heat.

Awesome Gillena, I could almost hear the tractor by the end. The "chug chugging" gives the poem a nice audible finish, and I like how quietly the whole scene unfolds.

Gillena, I love how the tractor’s “chug chugging” suddenly fills the sweet, sunny day with life and a puff of dust.
