Those Boys

‘Boys in a Pasture’ by Winslow Homer

Those boys – they seem so serene
Simply enjoying the view
But they are just taking a rest
Twixt what’s done and what’s to do
Pondering the distant pasture
Plotting how best to torment the cows


W3 Prompt #123: Wea’ve Written Weekly poet of the week, Sally, prompts us to write an “ekphrastic poem inspired by Winslow Homer’s (1836-1910) painting of ‘Boys in a Pasture’.”
