THE FIELDS OF AUGUST
The table is spread with Queen Anne’s lace.
Tapers of goldenrod glow in place.
Modest mauve milkweeds meekly bend.
Ranks of red fescue soldierly stand.
Intrusive loosestrife shoulders in,
A powerful purple infiltration.
With binderweeds along the edge
Creep flowerets of yellow vetch.
This scene that I am driving by
Is easy on the passing eye.
