The Place I Call Home

snow clouds fill the sky
scattered crows like black comets
silloutted against them
their angry discourse
echoing over the field below

corn husk rustles underfoot
where a forlorn stalk remains
the token of summer glory
a  season well spent

naked branches black and brittle
like gnarled fingers
reach up to mark the sky

smoke rises from the chimney
of a weathered farmhouse
windows aglow with lamplight
the place I call home
