Guarding The Dung

Guarding the Dung

In a pasture along the road
cows, chew their cud
Crane watch the dung

More cows along the road
Black cows, white cows
standing in a herd

In a meadow along the road
more cows, too many to count
cranes watches the dung

Open field
lush green wheat
growing wild

An obsevational poem

like a glance at a scene seeking a unique angle. bringing each element out in few stanzas, rich imagery, I did want to see the cranes appear one more time then i noted it as a passing by glance, the comment helped with that. In ink, dabbler
