Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Wheat Upon the Ground

Down where the Magnolia's blossoms
Open a creamy white
Modena touched sunrise wakes
Sleepy eyes, clouds take flight

Geese loudly honk a wake-up tune
Emphasized by Dove's coo
As the sunrise changes to pale pink
Against a sky so blue

Dew touches low growing wheat
In fields ripe for harvest
There the laborers are few
Wheat's touched by winds unharnessed

Winds blow in from the north, northeast
Put that wheat 'pon the ground
Ruined in this the ripest stage
Never more to be sound

Robert Nehls June 5, 2014 at 6:32 AM Hello Sarah. Great visualization. Nature can certainly put an end to hopes. There is much written into this short poem. Keep painting with your pen. Robert.

Andrea Dietrich May 27, 2014 at 11:14 PM this is sad. it reminds me of a time I went back to my beloved Iowa during the floods they had a long time back and seeing so much corn ruined that year. I hope this incident with the wheat was not something that happened all over the state.
