Help Needed

Rows neatly planted Running east to west Then a field of wheat Ready for harvest Golden is the grain All the plants look alike Not a weed did I see For miles one golden stand Time for harvest_ Are we ready? Gain needs gathering Putting into the barns Before the summer storm__ Where are the laborers? Workers are so few_ None to drive the tractor Could this farm employ you?

good thought. Check spelling on grain. I really like these short, fast paced free verse poems. My kind of meat and potatoes. Charles

sure why not, I clever and creative piece of poetry, enjoyed reading. thank you for commenting on Bashful Sun, yes that is what i had in mind, we have been getting rain here in Denver, so far in may 5 inches which i heard was a record for May. Colorado is a dry state, so for that much rain for us is a lot.

Did you mean to use the word 'grain' in stanza four, or were you punning with the word 'gain'. A nice poetic advertisement. This is a novel approach to advertising. I never thought about using a poem as a help wanted ad.

Nicely put but stanza four needs just the simplist of an edit, other than that sign me up!
