Woodland Copper
This is a poem fic about Ann from Harvest Moon. This is the second in
the Harvest Moon girl poems.
The silence of the woods lingers frozen in the air
Your quiet breath penetrates the stillness
The harsh rays of the noon sun shimmer on your skin
Strands of hair stick to your sweaty cheek when you shift
Crakling leaves fly in the sudden breezes
The gold, red, and brown leaves dance in the sky
You creep closer to the rabbit that is your goal
His nose twitching nervously as you draw near
A potato from long ago in yuor outstreched hand
The rabbit hops closer and begins to nibble on the treat
Your face is more radient than the glowing leaves
As you smile gently at the hungry rabbit
I watch your act of kindness from the bushes
Captivated by your smile, a warm ray of sun
The hot light shines through the trees, scorching the air
Your hair burns like hot molten metal, woodland copper
And I watch as you sit there in echoing silence
Knowing you've captured my heart.
