Ray Mawst - Ekphrastic Poem



Spring in the Country - Grant Wood 1930

Compacting dirt, I plant row after row.
Bradford pear trees mimic the sky,
and clouds shadow the distance.
These are signs that spring is going
to be staying with us for a while now.
Dad plows the fields trailing behind
a pair of horses, and our eight cows
graze the fields from left to right.
