Countryscapes
April 7, 2010
Yesterday’s post offered some cityscapes. So today I will give equal time to rural images. What a contrast to the gleaming, shining, reflective glass and steel surfaces of a modern city. Yet each is beautiful in its own way.
Old Barn
by Janice Blanchard
On the edge of the town
See the old barn sag
With a drop in its ridge
Like a sway-backed nag,
And the shingles torn
By the west wind’s will
Fly from the skeleton rafters
Until
You may count its starved ribs,
One by one;
Old barn, old horse,
Your day is done.
