HARVEST

Now all our crops are in and larders full, so we’re ready for wicked winter’s worst when we face those freezing Arctic attacks. We have in our store: dried fruits, roots and nuts along with several sacks of grain to grind, to make the flour to bake our daily bread. We offer prayer to God and to Nature, for fertile seed and soil and sun and rain. The local farmers we thank for their work, tilling the soil and tending to the fields. Our harvest festival we can begin. Now all our crops are in and larders full.

Dear Tony, your poem captures the harvest season with appreciation and poetic finesse. I especially adore the last two lines, indeed a festive feeling fills the air. A splendid piece. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Many thanks Susan. I feel there is something magic about the harvest festival. It seems Nature and man are in harmony. Working together, as it should be. Best wishes. Tony
