Scarecrowess

Somewhere amidst the bluegrass field,
A small child’s white dress
With two buttons instead of a ribbon’s braid
Tossed itself across small blades with finesse.

The Sunday dress landed on petrified wood;
A post, standing in a tuft of green grass.
It’s waiting for an arm so it won’t be misunderstood.
Then Braylee with curling cockleburs made her a lass.

Now she watches Poe’s black crow
Standing atop a jibing white brolly
Where he was trying to stow
Away a mouthful of broccoli.

When the crow flew away without so much as a splinter,
She squiggled in dance with her funny looking scarecrow.
