the setting sun
floods potato fields
with crimson
a migrant looks up
at geese flying south

  1. A perfect way of telling things with regards to everything going on in mind. Interesting, absorbing, and definitely powerful.

  2. I recognised this as your work before I even got to the last line, Chen-ou! It's like a scene from a painting and very striking with that crimson flooding the fields.
