Preference For a Farm

Up from the morning’s creeping mist
the newborn day appeared
and in the briskness of the dawn
the killer hawk we feared

The pumpkin wet with sunrise dew
Reflected the light’s raze
Shinning, round and brimming new
A jewel among the haze

The autumn morn moved slowly on
Until the noon was bold
And warmth was here to dote upon
with night's approaching cold

The city lights behind the hills 
beckoned the bold and brave
seeking thrills and new frontiers
escaping the nearing grave

Oh, quiet farm soft hid beyond
your peaceful autumn yearns
to teach the dreams of youthful fawn
and nature’s ways to learn.

Thanks Janis, no need to grow up in the farm to feel nostalgia through your heart warming imaginary. Great entry!
