Sara Kendrick Poet Free verse

Help Needed

Rows neatly planted
Running east to west 

Then a field of wheat
Ready for harvest
Golden is the grain

All the plants look alike
Not a weed did I see
For miles one golden stand

Time for harvest_
Are we ready?
Gain needs gathering
Putting into the barns
Before the summer storm__

Where are the laborers?
Workers are so few_
None to drive the tractor
Could this farm employ you?

Charles Henderson May 26, 2011 at 1:30 AM good thought. Check spelling on grain. I really like these short, fast paced free verse poems. My kind of meat and potatoes. Charles

Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2011 at 8:07 PM This is lovely, sara, in its straightforward statement it leads up to!

Kash Poet May 25, 2011 at 7:35 PM Wonderful imagery here.Love it.Are u seriously looking for laborers to harvest?

James Foulk May 25, 2011 at 6:49 PM sure why not, I clever and creative piece of poetry, enjoyed reading. thank you for commenting on Bashful Sun, yes that is what i had in mind, we have been getting rain here in Denver, so far in may 5 inches which i heard was a record for May. Colorado is a dry state, so for that much rain for us is a lot.

Kevin Semeniuk May 25, 2011 at 3:06 PM Great images! reminds me of some long days out in the fields as a kid!

Stephen Parker May 25, 2011 at 2:49 PM Did you mean to use the word 'grain' in stanza four, or were you punning with the word 'gain'. A nice poetic advertisement. This is a novel approach to advertising. I never thought about using a poem as a help wanted ad.

Matt Hunt May 25, 2011 at 2:45 PM Great job!

Cory Long May 25, 2011 at 2:38 PM very nice.. I have enjoyed your write tonight. cory

Ned Flanders May 25, 2011 at 2:31 PM Nicely put but stanza four needs just the simplist of an edit, other than that sign me up!
