Just Before Green
The poems for the next thirty days are written from prompts from Ellen Rowland's class. You can find her on Substack. She's inventive, creative, and stretches us to work with different forms we've never heard of.
Just Before Green
Where I live
just before green
rides the early autumn,
gold summer grasses
went parched
then drab
soil loosens to dust
ground holds its breath
hills wait out the sky
fields begging for rain
when finally, it comes
the land, slaking
a prayer calling
more! more!
