The Summer Cornfields

Late summer clouds Over golden countryside Fields of corn and barley Our mother nature provides Along a country path The sheepdog guides the flock A young boy stops to drink Before the grazing gates are unlocked The farmer boys father Aside his field of corn Shaping up to harvest Another crop reborn This picture of late summer Golden, greens and fawns With autmun on our doorstep A new season brings a new dawn Inspired by John Constable's " Cornfield " painting. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/art.php
