to be gladiolus

cumulus in fetal position

children laugh in hayloft of barn

fresh flowers for mother’s day

amish quilt block holds bright

memories’ colors

of mid-western

bountiful

garden

home

A nonet for open link night at dVerse poets…

    A WONDERFUL ekphrastic poem for the photo! You’ve captured the essence of living in this photo. When we were first married, we lived in a small rural town in Iowa….way out in the countryside. I learned so much from the parents of the kids I taught in the high school there (32 in a graduating class!). Your words here remind me of those days.
