long river
creeps over her banks
occupying low lying fields
Long River
fertile fields reside
along the river’s sides
Wardrobe Change
When the grass greens
it’s nearing the time to take off
your winter coat.
Corn Field
Leafless trees dream
of growing rows in full fields
Profusion
More beauty than the eye can hold,
enough to lift the soul.
Forsythia
Before the sky is reliably blue
before the fields have greened
forsythia champions Spring.
Dormant
Four fallow fields full of snow
hold their place on the mountain side
patiently waiting for Spring to arrive.
Solitude
Alone in the fields
contemplation holds my hand.
Reverence is my path.
Family Farm
The fields empty at dusk.
The kitchen fills with the sound of hungry forks
and the quiet of resting work boots.
Dear John Deer
In August, with your metal seat as hot as a branding iron,
you rumble across the fields, chewing rocks and cutting grass.
True champion of summer.
