Farm Foreclosure

Hi James, short poem but loaded with messages. I love this poem. I have a also a feaured poem this week. God bless yiu. Ernilando

OMG the last line is SO TRUE! I was brought up on non-pasturized fresh milk and know this to be so true! And how sad it is for our economy as well, to have these shells of farmhouses and barns dotting the landscape also. Wonderful poem! and thank you for your wonderful comments on my Dove poem also! I think I was blushing by the time I was done reading it! ~Trudy!

Very interesting view of a sad scene in our country! Great write! Laura :)

Very sad, loved the middle line...Raul

This haiku has a tongue in every word, a voice in every line, and a truth in its whole ... the poet rises from a realm of talent and pour his feelings out through it. Thanks for your friendly comments, keep the vibes flowing, brother, friend.

Nice write about the pplight of our farmers. Keep it up! Mathew Anish

i love this haiku-sad haiku

so few words but grips it is sad or taste sad as you wrote

aawwweee...so sad..and so very true. How terrible life is treating the earthlings lately. (being an earling myself, I have to speak up for the rest of us) he he he Your Haiku is perfect. The first line says so much...and that's the point...so BRAVO to you for bringing the reader to the point so well...and the rest is exquisite in every way. The reality in the readers face at the end hits it home...your point well taken.I lived on a farm and drank fresh milk, I know!

Excellent haiku. So, so sad. Let us hope things change for the better. Love, shar

It's so sad to see the farms fall during these difficult economic times. Their products are essential to our survival. This is a very touching reflection, James. I'd rather bail out the farmers than bail out Wall Street. Sometimes we, as a nation, forget what is truly important. Love, Carolyn

yes, yes, a TASTE can evoke the emotions! very nice! Light & Love

yea this is the tune of all the good ole farm lands lately...it’s an unfortunate reality...well written...o and there's nothing like sitting on the edge of a neighborless land and watching the interaction of nature glad to know others who appreciate the simplicity and complexity of such a thing...~Luke

It seems there's a lot of that going around. I apreciate your comments as well..

The poem captures the heart. I hope you haven't experienced this. If so, I'm sorry. You did a fine job on this one.

Its sad enough when homes foreclose...but farms too...their way of life, their land, their hard work....it is so terrible to see. (I wrote a poem awhile back too...about foreclosure...it is a blight around the country. A sad but relevant haiku, James.

The last line speaks loudly..well done Haiku.
