Photo Challenge: Corner

The first hint comes just at moon rise
on an ordinary August weeknight. It’s
hardly a breeze at all, certainly not
enough to toss or even tickle a leaf
but still a few degrees cooler with just

a bit more oxygen than usual. Meanwhile,
the chicory stands above the turf, frank
blossoms the color of midnight with
no pretense of foliage. The goslings on
the pond have traded their oatmeal down

for more sleek travel attire and lifted
off for their first long distance flight,
leaving me flat-footed in a dimming
season, longing for fresh wings to glide
a sore heart above the cool indigo prairie.

(WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo–I enjoy twisting these macro prompts to share our micro life here on the Colorado prairie. I take these photos with my phone, on my farm. No psych, definitely not high-tech.)

This blog is free, and it always will be. Free to read, but also free of ads because I turn away sponsorships and pay to keep ads off my site. I like to read a clean page and think you do too. If you appreciate the work I do, or if your horse does, consider making a donation.

  2. Ran across your books (and bought them) Stable Relations and a Relaxed and Forward. Your writing is a unique form of poetry, wisdom, & honesty. Many benefit from your efforts to share what you have learned through experience including the multitudes of two and four footed among us who don’t read!
