Sequence-The Bread Winner

In
the wind,
sweet music
of ripening
wheat-
an
echo
of harvest-
repeated each
fall


Dedicated to Norman Borlag (Iowa born farm boy) 1914-2009 Nobel prize 1970 -developed 
the new high yielding wheat strains

Nicely done work. It is amazing how people have worked over the years to get different grains to produce more per acrea. Thanks for your comment on my poem Scary. I didn't like the way that one turned out for I couldn't get it to flow. That one was not the best that I penned yesterday or so I thought. Keep writing.Sara
