The cotton shimmers beneath the withering sun. Workers dragging long canvas sacks, bleached dirty white, like tails behind them wipe perspiration from their brow with hankies fresh washed the day before. Stalks bearing frothy hulls sway, a breeze has sprung up from the west. Sagging shoulders straighten in anticipation of the sinking sun, the cooling day, a victory won in this war against hunger in the White River Basin where I was born. © Linda settles www.RedeemingOurTreasures.com

Cotton bolls, Boll Weevils, back breaking work, taking the cotton to market. "Them old cotton fields back home..." Thanks for reminding this Georgia boy, of his pre-Civil War heritage. Well done Linda! Rockie Coppolella
