Sequence-Rural Reminesences

Stooked up sheaves,midst growing clover
In wind and rain,toppling over

A polished blade ,glides to and fro
Timber echos in the glade below

The hands tick around,one by one
Tedium ends,with the setting sun

This brings thoughts of some of the rural landscape that surrounds our farming community. I love this one! ~ Carrie

That is life on the farm for those who want ot be somewhere else and sometimes for those who love it. Keep writing. Sara

I absolutely love the way you capture this scene of harvesting so beautifully. It's perfect. I grew up on a farm and and this piece brings me right back into the fields. In fact I am writing a short story at the minute about life as I grew up and I have brought the old threshing of the harvest into it.

Hi Brian,Tthere is a river behind my house and a farm field beyond. From my windows I watch the farmers toil all day bringing in the sheaves. It is a comforting sight. You have captured it beautifully in this crystalline. Thank you for sharing. lainie
