Premium Member Death and Farming

life is the harvest 
death is closing the barn gate 
leaving all behind 

everything that grows 
will slowly come to its death 
there is no simple way

Winter, Abroad

The melody of memory is farming a low note,
drawing out the sonorous tones of your voice on the phone.
‘Hello.’ Have I always been this nostalgic for warmth?

The Roman Emperor Who Had Nothing To Cluck About

In the annals of Rome the least glorious
was an emperor named Honorius.
Though Rome's plight was alarming
he spent his time chicken farming,
a pursuit which made him notorious.

Irish Potato

Me great, great, great-grand pappy-died
His son, sailed away from fighting Ireland
In the wake of the potato famine, sought land
Farming his love, many sons his pride
Irish potatoes-boiled, mashed, salad and fried

Saturn, Bringer of Old Age

Bringer of Old Age 
Saturn, that's what you always were 
You move quite slowly 

At a snail's pace 
Twenty-nine point forty-six 
Years, orbit the Sun 

Named after a god 
Within the Roman pantheon 
Of farming and TIME

New Plough

A simple farmer he was,
Towing his plough along the field,
A golden shine caught his eye,
Digging he found coins and so much more,
Riches beyond his wildest dreams,
A new plough he would buy,
Just a simple farmer he was.

Farming A Nation

Back drives me cold
Plant at village
Busy morning.

Season's shortage
Between rice price
Need force to plant.

Each time pants on
Soaking the mud
Life hard living.

Love those who work
A farm living
Help a nation.

Farm laborer
Produces
Food for you and me;
Commits suicide
Owing hunger and
Non repayable debt...
We accumulate
His grains
Eat
Waste...

Return Poetry

Luggage
Heavy with o-dears
Ten days over the road
Round trip along the east coast
Much to see and so little time
Virginia is my favorite state of mine
Farming flat land and history of war
Record breaking heat wave
Purple blossoms

Premium Member F4 in 1952

she stealthily sneaked up on farming community
surprising everyone, for they were deep in sleep
threw barns, sheds, tractors and pitchforks into the air
they were whisked away inside her whirling turmoil tunnel
1952 tornado in Nebraska, devastation from an F-4

Premium Member Answered Prayers

.  
                    breath of morning rain...

                    a gentle benediction

                    over fields of wheat



Growing up in the country...
a farming community worries over lack of rainfall
....a blessing is a good year of rain...

(Kwanza Thought For Today)

Let’s not be in drought,
Collectively plowing growth—
Juicy fruits growing:-

Sowing together,
We collectively reap more—
Barns of life well stocked:-

Farming together,
We harvest abundant crops;
Well nourishing all:-

Premium Member Many Hues of Green

Many hues of green




Looking into her flashing green eyes,
Greener farming had only stayed with wise,
Queen's Emeralds if were seen,
envy must have turned them green,
Unripe greens had to pay all the price.

Premium Member Purest Love

~ Tribute to Kibbutz
       Sde Eliyahu ~


45 years vanished
  my heart yet beats
for the tiny farming village
  my purest, unsullied love

the people mostly gone
  who helped me find myself
their still-life photos sit upright
  on tear-stained worn bookshelves

Premium Member Delightfully Alarming Wisdom On Farming

Beef is conceived in a package
  Onions are grown in a bag
Sardines swim best in oil
  Pebbles thrive in the soil

Today's teens don't know geography
  But they sure do know about farming
Lines above from youth essays on agriculture
  Aren't they delightfully alarming?

Farming

Beneath the sun, the farmer sows,
Into the earth where hope still grows.
With patient hands and faithful heart,
He gives the seed its place to start.

The rain will come, the green will rise,
And golden harvest fill the skies.
For every seed the farmer lays,
Is a prayer for better days.

Premium Member Everyday Heros

Wild country, 
Pools of dead water
Glen of scrub and brown brambles 
Snow dirtied by traffic and by
Mud thrown up by passing trucks
Farmland , where cattle and sheep huddle 
And old homesteads bravely smoking chimneys
Harsh winter farming, 
Survival
A dying breed 
Working to make a living
The life 
Of everyday heros

A World Away

Laborer and oxen are drawn to slumber and to toil. trodden fields of dawn through basalt seeded soil. A consistent daily chore broken and blistered skin farming out of folklore the spirit from within. An iron age passes by, ploughed by tools of wood Faces etched, livelihood. (The traditional farmers of Nicaragua)
