Scenes from a Polish Village by Monika Eberhard |

Puffed-pigeons pout and coo To a shiny, iridescent mate Cabblestones mesh in an intricate web And lead up to a flowery gate Multicolored pigeons strut and coo An old church steeple kisses the sky A horse trots heartily along Pulling fresh vegetables to a nearby market His master flicks the reins with brown arms strong An elderly steeple rises to the sky A rose blooms brightly in the sun Its petals glowing pinkish-red Gracing the simple Polish garden Thriving in its rich dark bed The rose blooms brightly in the sun. | ||
