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

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.

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.
