It's mowing season



GRASS

This rectangle of grass
Is a lively canvas.


Dandelions are doing a synchronized
Yellow dance.

A choreography of leaps
Over green leaf blades...
A chorus of hundreds...


It is a primitive Grandma Moses.
It is a sophisticated Gustav Klimt.
Children's crayons
Are bright enough for it.







Comes the minimalist movement,
A mower will alter the lawn
To a shimmering green Rothko.
