SHORELINES, by MAUDE PLESSINGER
First Line: I know a place where sycamores
Last Line: That follow where the shoreline goes.
Subject(s): Rivers
First Line: I know a place where sycamores
Last Line: That follow where the shoreline goes.
Subject(s): Rivers
I know a place where sycamores
Follow a river's rugged shores,
And horseweeds march in thick formation
As becomes their rank and station,
And the sturdy black-eyed-susan
Rears its head in great profusion.
Willows stand on the banks and weep
Over the water, cool and deep.
Sleek cattle come to splash and wade,
And quench their thirst in noontime shade.
And there are prints of little toes
That follow where the shoreline goes.
