THINGS I HAVE SEEN, by                    
First Line: I have seen cherries hanging overripe
Last Line: Beneath a sun-soaked sky -- after the rains!
Subject(s): Prairies; Plains


I have seen cherries hanging overripe,
I have seen roses swimming-depth in dew,
I have seen stars fall, trailing through the night
In flares of gold, across the star-flecked blue.
I have seen mountains, fusing with the skies
In conversation with the centuries.
I have seen sunsets dripping wet with dyes
Spilled recklessly, and dawns surpassing these.
And though I love them all, I have not seen
A sight more thrilling than a reach of plains
Dressed in spring's vivid tapestry of green
Beneath a sun-soaked sky -- after the rains!
