 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.

    Much love,
