Bread

freshly plowed field rows stretch to the horizon birds feeding earth nurtures seed sun filters through broken clouds rich black gold golden blanket waves in the hot summer breeze harvest home silos tower year's bounty gathered again bread baking

Don't know how I missed this one earlier, Barbara. I like the way you take us from the plowing of the seed to the making of bread. A wonderful string haiku. Congratulations on your BIG win! Love, Carolyn

Wonderfully earthy, Barbara, reminding me of my days growing up in Iowa, the bread basket of the US. Congratulations on this wonderful series I somehow missed seeing!
