Just a hint
of straight green lines

in the warming fields --

or a farmer's son
can see them.

I'm sure whatever you choose t do when you grow up with benefit those of us who love words...As a loquacious writer, I deeply appreciate your conciseness.

So much said and implied in so few words, is the reason this poem works. Good to see Tom's work.
