Tiny Tails

by Treischel



Tiny tails
Of summer grass,
Windy gales
May bend en masse
Slender limbs.
When they blow past
Fuzzy arches line the trails.






I spotted these grasses along a walking path. The grasses looked like tiny little tails to me. I like how they bend in the wind. I was enchanted by the photo I snapped and was inspired to write this little ditty.

This poem is a Whitney.
The Whitney poem format was created by Betty Ann Whitney. This is a seven-line versed poem based on Japanese patterns

with a fixed syllable format that contains 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 7 syllables respectively.
No rhyme scheme is required, but may be incorporated if desired.

I did rhyme this one. The rhyme scheme is: ababcba
