Rust Ic

The once rich fields lay fallow now Spared of the harrows blade Abundant crops but memories The grasses long since hayed The old farm tractor, silent now Still sadly stands in wait Dressed in a red brown coat of rust Unyielding to it's fate

Dear Bob, I hate to see these farms disappearing and your poem is rich in imagery and powerful in emotion. Thanks for your kind words. There is no cure for my illness, but it could take time to progress. I'm sure this beautiful poem and the creative title will ensure a big win in the contest. Wishing you many blessings in the coming year, Carolyn
