Soil and Toil
There upon the ground discarded
where fruited blessings were ill guarded
lay the efforts of my spring toil
the perspired digging and setting seed in soil
Peaches and tomatoes once large and green
are cast upon the earthly tumultous scene
and now squash and peppers lay
torn down, half eaten castaways.
Scouring the landscape garnished
I questioned what happened to my harvest?
There way in the back beneath the shed
the tell tale signs of the groundhog now well fed.
