Bamboo Against The Sky

I was taking a walk the other night The sky was a brilliant orange-red I should have retired already But I was takin’ a stroll instead The quiet was overwhelming And as the sky filled with color I pressed my camera to my eye For it was a chance like no other But what added to the scene Was bamboo stalks tall and stout Looming up into the sky Beauty was what it was all about The sweet smell of hay fields Dark pools of country ponds Red dirt roads and lonesome barns Are some of the things I’m fond Hills and broken down fences Also scenes my camera wants to try But this time I was quite awestruck Seeing Bamboo against the sky!
