The red farm
is a valentine
to the landscape
Ray
a ray of sun
the yellow barn
in a cold field
Hay Bales
Packages of summer
destined for the barn
nourishment in winter
By the Barn
Hoping for riders
mares stroll the paddock
smelling freedom in breeze.
Passing Through
In her twilight years
the old barn shelters
wind and memories.
Repossession
The woods reclaim the old barn
returning her lumber to the earth.
Out by the Barn
The flowers are arranged, the table is dressed
this party is thrown for summer
and all the blessings it has bestowed.
.
Sisters
They feed in the field of their ancestors
and rest in a humble structure
that is everything it needs to be –
home
Open Door
The pond frogs serenade the cows
with an early evening lullaby
when the barn doors are open.
Window Box
When the old red barn is dressed up with a window box
not even the high noon sun can wilt away
her pretty-fication.
Jersey Girl
Docile and dainty,
your genial disposition
makes you the queen of the dairy.
