The Palouse














-Palouse Palette-

Wheat sways to soft breezes as birds sing
Rolling hills of green signal a turn to spring

The seasons of the year are easy to discern
Colors on the Palouse palette continue to turn

Verdant fields turn to gold with summer glow
Machines like large grasshoppers fall into flow

Comes rich brown soil as fall with rain appears
Followed by blankets of white as winter nears

Four seasons to share in this magical place
Brings new visions of nature’s art to face
