Valkyrie Campfire

Prairie Idyll (for my brother)

Author

Dawn stream, ditch lilies.
Gilded rays glint from limestone.
Queen Anne's Lace stands guard.

Morning at the pond.
Fill glass jars with polliwogs.
Mud-covered by lunch.

Afternoon hijinx.
Mulberry-stained tricksters scheme:
Run home and scare mom.

Storm clouds; roiling winds.
Strip poker in the hayloft.
There might be cheating.

Beams slide through treeline.
Fireflies glide o'er dewing grass.
Almost supper time.
