Watching a Farm Awaken in Early Spring

I love to watch a farm awaken in the early spring, Especially as the birds in the forest happily sing, The farm knows how to be itself, profound and true, Like the faded red barn, quietly beholding the view. In this moment, the farm finds its serenity, Between sips of morning coffee, so heavenly, Tempting songs of cardinals, a melodious cheer, Chips and whistles carried by the breezy air. Who wouldn't be captivated by this wondrous sight, As darkness surrenders to the emerging light, The old barn stands, with no complaints or pleas, No need for a fresh coat of red, at ease it sees. The morning fog, a gentle, subtle trace, In the fields unplowed, it finds its place, Soon, corn will grow in rows so neat, And crows will gather for a sumptuous treat. Gently I inhale the farm's awakening charm, Especially in the early spring's tranquil arm, Where the soul knows no bounds, it's free, Across an undefined horizon, a painting, you see. Quiet repose, a vastness, the soul's delight, A pretty picture as the new day takes flight, The farm awakens with beauty untold, In the early spring, where dreams unfold.

This poem beautifully captures the serene and tranquil beauty of a farm awakening in the early spring. The imagery painted by the words transports the reader to the countryside, where nature's symphony unfolds with the rising sun. As the farm awakens to the promise of a new day and the arrival of spring, it invites the reader to share in the sense of wonder and beauty that surrounds them. The final lines evoke a sense of freedom and possibility, as dreams unfold against the backdrop of nature's ever-changing canvas.

Dear don, what a brilliant poem this is, i love the rhythm of your captivating rhymes and how you’ve also used assonance and painted imagery throughout this soulful write. I see through your words spring awakening and sprouting. The gentle morning fog as the new day takes flight. How soothing is calming is the way you weave your thoughts, you have a way with expressing and leaving readers in awe! The flow of this is seamless and so many lines stood out for me. Tempting sounds of nature, so well delivered. A fave it is for me.

Wonderful imagery and a delightful read, Don. Brought back memories of the early morns in the summers when I stayed on the farm with my aunt and uncle. Thanks for the memories. I really enjoyed reading your poetry today. I'll add you to my list of poets I follow. I think my wife ... Sara Etgen Baker already follows your poetry, she's mentioned your poems before. Have a great week. Bill

In this poem, the peacefulness and beauty of an early spring farm, together with its surroundings and the season's quiet ambiance, are portrayed. The narrative is both detailed and nostalgic, transporting the reader to the farm. Words like "serenity," "heavenly," "melodious cheer," and "tranquil charm" evoke feelings of tranquility and grace. To deepen the meaning of the poem, the poet makes use of poetic tropes including personification ("the farm knows how to be itself"), imagery ("morning fog, a gentle, subtle trace"), and symbolism ("the faded red barn symbolizing timelessness and acceptance").
