scarecrow in the corn
his weeping muffled by straw

I can just as well read this as a metaphor for anyone who’s not blessed with proper tears.
interesting image.. thought provoking.
Such a deep & poignant write.
Very atmospheric!
love it
Perhaps, the scarecrow wants to cry as he sees and feels death nearby.
Yes, scarecrows tend to be softies but only cry muffled tears!
Well this is very clever……I never thought about that before….so original.
Such a vivid description!
Wow — now that is quite original — quite an image. Nicely done 🙂
very vivid and the anguish is felt hard….
Very interesting metaphors
Great … and I feel like I’m back in Oz!
poor guy 🙂
Excellent!
I like this one, its a great image and so honest.
Oh so sad, and vivid and wonderful!
