The Haven Of Barns
come winter
they will encompass
my world
Wood Duck Box By The Old Corn Field
the frozen marsh
the fallow field
everything in its time
At The Homestead
the farm stand
the house and the barn
a trinity of roofs
Strawberries
red, ripe, juicy
summer hauntings
of winter’s slow end
Hay the Field
rites
of summer
field work and sunshine
Grand Plans
inside
the tiny house
plotting planting season
In the Nature of Farming
precision
of the cornfield abuts
the rambunctious fence line
Readiness
the field prepared
weather on the move
commencement of the growing season
Pumpkin Patch
orange tide
awaits the moon
and frost to call it home
Good Morning
morning graze
the river flows
and songbirds serenade
Three Sisters
corn waits
and holds a place for her sisters
beans and squash
Orchard
in the shelter of others
buds blossom and fruit
Planting Season
Lettuce begin.
Winter’s Crop
Fields of snow
are harvested
by the sun and ground.
Bygone Days
Keeping nothing in and no one out
the wall wanders the mountain
dreaming of open fields and hand plows.
Silo
In between the green mountains
the silo holds grain
and most importantly hope.
Ready Field
Tilled earth soaks up the sun
and waits for the seeds
of this season’s purpose to be planted.
Sleeping Garden
Down in the field the garden bed sleeps
dreaming of rain, flowers and food
and knowledgeable hands that coax and groom.
