In Clover


white beehive slumbers `
careening farm boys wrestling `
flashes of venom `

Haiku Bones weekly prompt: electrifying

I have this Winslow Homer sort of image of barefoot Victorian farm kids with rope belts and cut-down hats rough-housing.

    The sting of the rope on your hands when playing tug-o-war: electrifying indeed!

    Very nice. I just finished reading "My Antonia" and your images fit in well.

    My husband's beehives are painted white. I can definitely picture my two rowdy boys bumping into those hives. Nice haiku. Thank you for it.
