Analysis of The Humpback hills

mikeminet 1979 (ca)



The rolling humpback hills.
Fade off into the horizon.
Giving the illusions of vast herds of buffalo's.
Roaming and grazing peacefully 
Across the sun lite plains,
Over fertile fields of wheat and wild grasses.
Stretching into native lakes,
Surrounded by tall-growing bulrush weeds, 
And cattails gracefully arching into magical gateways, 
with every gentle breeze, your imagination 
Goes on a journey with mother nature.
Holding hands with flowing rivers walking on carpets 
of moss along the edge of the banks,
and dancing with daffodils bending and swaying,
over the grassy hills and dales.
With orange, yellow, and apricot skirts 
swirling around in the summer breeze.
