Corn, sorghum and pumpkins...

How are they still so green in August?

Nature photo of the day: ornamental corn in our pumpkin patch.

green is the color of August
in the mountains
but not where I'm from
everything is behind
yet larger in size
I shake my head
in surprise
for slowness reigns in this vale
downwind from the crest
the corn just now begins to flower
will there be time?
or am I in too much of a hurry
to see the ea…
