L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Autumn Homecoming

Harvest fields
autumn fruits
farmer’s yields.

Garden vegetables
appear in abundance
church lunch delectables--
Roasting corn and green beans
sweet peppers, carrots, and
tomatoes, by all means.

Afterwards, an old-fashioned hymn sing
perhaps with heartfelt testimonies
faithful church members will surely bring.
Sometimes a gospel quartet's on hand
to present a concert of requests.
If the church’s young people have a band
they might perform some special number,
which will be enjoyed by everyone,
then all go home for welcomed slumber.
