Day 28 of Poetry Month - April 2016

I wrote about six poems based on Robert Bateman paintings. The last three days will include those.

Wildebeests at Sunset

             For Robert Bateman

God made them with bits and pieces he had left;

an African antelope

with horns above and shaggy beard below.

As the Kenyan sun hazes liquid gold over all

before it drops,

a herd gathers for the night in mellow mood.
