The Nooning


The Nooning by Winslow Homer



The Nooning*

Ants run
on dirty plates
tossed on summer green grass
while Mom's wash fans boyish rumbles
at noon.

    So, "nooning" is NOT the same thing as a "nooner" then.
    Hmmmm
    That explains allot about the reactions I got at that picnic.

    Sounds like a wonderful summer day Jo. Never knew you could add (ing) or (er) to noon. Nice poem!
