    I love how you can take all these different poem structures and make them your own! I especially like the last line “swallowed by swift night.” It really captures the way night comes so quickly this time of year.

    Ah lovely–I especially like the closing line of night swallowing the fields/ trees/ manure! Thanks, Lynn. k.
