Day's Sealed

~ Day's sealed ~

The sun's made its turn
   Farmer's chores almost done
It's afternoon's downside
   Kick back, stretch and yawn  

Afternoon heat shimmers
   over cornstalks and hay
Nearing the end 
   of another workday

Gather up some stray eggs
   Feed the cows one last meal
The shadows now long
   Come sunset ~ day's sealed

Lol I am what you could call a farmers daughter! Not a real farm but my best friend lived on a farm and I practically lived with her! We got in so much trouble! Lol! The stories I could tell!;)

Do you have some 'farm-blood' in you, Brenda? I was a farmer for about a year-and-a-half in Israel in my 20's. Hard work, it is! Thank you for all of your positive comments. Cheers, Gershon

Another of your deceptively and delightfully simple rhymes, full of perceptive observations - a little gem of a poem.
