On languid farmland thermals

Murder of deadlines...

every clergy is an ox
wearing heavy yoke
drawing wooden plow
across the farmland
of people’s vibrant sins
endeavoring to weed
the mess in their souls...

Donald Trump approves Acid Rain
To nourish our farmland again
Public health gets the boot
As Dick Cheney yells, "Shoot!"
You know how Trump hates John McCain!...

grandparent's farmland
passed down through generations
apple peach trees grow

overgrown pathways
barb wire fence contains thorned bush
wild berries florish...

Lifting from the Millewa;
swirling to the sky,
billowed to the heavens,
each particle drifts high.
Closing down the clearness
in an ever thickening rust,
from dry and harrowed farmland,
swirls the Mallee dust....

Lets hold our bikinis
—a feast for the eyes, gym
when the monkeys giveaway
its farmland to draw nectars.

sweetness don't pretend—
I come to steal
an ecstasy,
to gamble like candles
in a terrible dark house.

Freakish Fanny fled fine Finland
For far-fetched Formosa fields,
Forsaking fantastic fiords forever
Forfeiting flourishing forests,
Frigid fertile farmland, festivals
Forgetting feared future fighting.

Cyber takeovers
Are happening all over,
Silent and quiet,
Buying properties,
Real estate, farmland and banks-
Foreign ownerships?

How much today a
Country owns is never clear.
Checked your data yet?

My granddad’s five-dollar bill in hand
Was blown by a breeze through farmland.
 Our dog, King, “saved the Abe”
Fetched the bill straight away
To return it to my grandad’s hand.

Fly kite,
hold tight,

Just right,
delight,

Wind gust,
feel rush,

Lost weight,
for mate,

Have hunch,
too much,

Airborne,
geese horn,

Jet stream,
bad dream,

Farmland,
wish sand,

Lose grip,
kite slip,

Fall fast,
pool crash,

Make wave,
good save!

Haiku 60 – Indiana Summer
	
	
	Indiana 
	orange roadside lilies
	rural splendor
	 
	
	Indiana 
	elephant’s eye corn
	no tassels yet
	
	
	Indiana
	endless green soybean fields
	rich farmland soil
		
		
	a strange beauty
	stark yet soothing vistas
	Indiana

Florida back roads
                                orchards with horses grazing
                                      lead to Joe's Corner
                                   tastiest oranges around
                                 in the heart of the farmland

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...

Scarecrows
Birds foes

Farmland
They stand

Dress codes
Old clothes

Plus hat
With that

Deploy
Decoy

Away
Birds stay

No fear
This year

Good yield
From field

Without
A doubt

The best
Harvest

Backed by 
Straw guy

Straw gal 
As well.

(The girl scarecrows do well too lol)

Restless river winds.
       winnowing valley farmland.

       In Father's garden chickens squawk, squabble.
       Silver sunlight dances.

       Hens spurn gardens bounty,
       for girl in dusty pants,
       rattling evenings grain bowl.
       Prancing single file behind
       fowl feet indent narrow path.

       Wind rustles treetops....

Halloween lips are pumpkin's rain
for kissing pulp on smacking brain
And holding love for passion named
in pumpkins born in farmer's lane

When all for one
are fields of pain
In farmland earned
of horror been drain

To harvest led
of food for soul
When Halloween's dead
are on a roll

And kids being said
to travel to
What lips being fed
are nature's dew...

Freddy Farkle, fumbling forecaster for Forestville,
friggin' fudged Friday forecast....fair?!
first florid felicitous, falling flurries followed,
froze flowers, foiled!
faraway farmhouse, furrowing farmland,
frigid fanny, furious, frustrated,
frumpy, frazzled!
furry forest friends furnished flannel frock,
finding Freddy's fails funny, frivolity,
fortunately frequent fallible forecasts
found Freddy flying faraway,
fallaciously forecasting for fermented folks!...

A farmer stocked in his farm
scorpions to serve him as guards
snakes to give him critical news
black ants to patrol the farmland

Moles he brought as cultivators
locusts to harvest the ripe crops
trusted rats to store the harvests
butterflies to oversee activities

Every creature was industrious
but an enemy appeared suddenly
hurricane came from the high seas
scorpions and all were swept away

Farmer trusted powers he planted
but everything got swept with him...

Love is the thing with fruits
That nourishes in the hearts
And beats the drum with timing 
And never stops beating.

And the fruits are tasted
And the seeds must be planted
That could show love is right
And that would have a bountiful harvest.

I've seen it in the widest farmland
But I've heard it at the mangrove shore
That the fruits were covered with surd
By the drum-beating harvest of a sincere hand....
