Farmer's Lady

Sunshine’s leisure graces her poise flapping upward ‘pon nature’s call, polka-dotted, the field enjoys buzzes of hum with each landfall; as cluster of leaves waves its shawl. The tender ribs of light enshrine her painted bodice that saves crops, one wiggle snares pests in whooping line while harvest thrills bug’s toil, non-stop farmer's lady, tough yet divine. Off she skates toward heavenly a good luck charm that boldly flows, on moonlit gloss like spring fairy with dulcet wings, her flight bestows unmindful of the heap she sows! Whimsy in English Quintain Contest Sponsored by Francine Roberts ( Ladybug) 1 May 2013

My grandfather usually had a group of Lady's all around his windows of his upstairs rooms! It was quite creepy though to see them! I would always ask grandma to get rid of them so I could fall asleep in the room! They creeped me out! But this poem explained a perfect message of what the Lady's truly are! What a tremendous piece Nette, you can write about anything my friend! Great Work!!
