The Sorghum Cows

Last Saturday
The flakey Virginia January
Was muggy like a summer day
The sorghum cows chewed
And sprawled on the grass
Like a day at the beach.
Seven days later it is below 30 and snowing
The cows stand stunned
They are snow trimmed
Like tractors and trees
They stand still
Not moving not mooing
Like ceramic knick knack cows
Not blinking
Not eating
On a cold ceramic hillside
Enduring the weather
With no where to go.

Having a cow on our front page inspired me to excavate this old bit of verse - kkb
