Figure descriptions
Multiple men, women, and children gather in a field. Most of the figures are doing
agricultural work, but one woman and child
walk hand-in-hand at the edge of the field. There are buildings, trees, and mountains
in the background. The title of the poem,
“AUGUST”, is centred near the bottom of the illustration. It is composed of twigs
with small leaves. The bottom of the illustration
partially surrounds a section of the poem text. Intertwined vines form a figurative
border around the left, top, and right sides of
this section of text. 2/3-page illustration partially contained within a single-ruled
border on the left, top, and right
edges.
