Poem of the Week: Girl Riding a Horse in a Field of Sunflowers

Girl Riding a Horse in a Field of Sunflowers

contented and pensive,

she holds in one hand,

loosely, the reins of summer:

the green of trees and bushes;

the blue of lake water;

the red of her jacket

and open collar; the brown

of her pinned-up hair,

and her horse, deep

in the yellow of sunflowers.

When she stops to rest,

summer rests.

When she decides to leave,

there goes summer

over the hill.

-David Allen Evans

I love the simple yet evocative language in this poem.
