Harvest Poem by James Mills

Harvest

Rating: 5.0


Under apple-heavy boughs they sit
tete-a-tete. Drooped in a canvas chair
he splays his crooked fingers while
she tenderly prunes.
Yellow nails crack,
thick parings spin through
scented air onto dry
seeding grass.

Love,
mellow as the season,
smooth as the hiss of breeze
amongst the fruit
Love,
sown in sapling Spring,
perfect in fragrant Fall.

Easy love,
growth rings circling life.
