Sea of Amber Grain

Outside the balmy gust of wind tussle the prairie grasses and whips the horse's mane. They journeyed, horse and rider, muscle pulling like ships sailing on their courses. Through the sea of golden statuesque wheat, a fresh, clean, sunny smell, silage or new dried fodder stored for the livestock to eat. Pleased to remember the touch of dawns dew. Remembering days, jingling spur tensions, same tilled field that his great-grandfather strived. Came time, consider greater intentions to building a future and they survived. Wealth dreams of sunshine, welcome is the rain upon an endless sea of amber grain. 3/7/2018

Didn't need to check the contest. THIS is a winner, a lovely work of art. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, your sonnet is worth at least 500---the exact number (of words) that Poetry Soup give us for comments. Why 500? ---Because of remarkable poems like this one. :) gershon
