New Seeds Will Be Sown Poem by Ernestine Northover
New Seeds Will Be Sown
Bring in the harvest sheaves, and store
Them safely, on the barn's stone floor.
Let all who've worked to stack and bind,
On the farmhouse table, their cider, find.
They will heartily cheer the farmer's thanks,
Then get up to some quite jovial pranks,
While celebrating a long and hard day's reap,
Before falling soundly off to sleep.
The winter's grain is home and bound,
Taken with skill from the fertile ground.
And in time some new seeds will be sown,
As soon as the frost, snow and ice have flown.
The fields are left, just with rough stubble now,
Ready for furrows to be cut by the plough.
Next year these crops will grow once again,
Helped by the Lord, his sunbeams and rain.
This one has a strong flavour of Keat's Ode to Autumn (one of my favourite poems, by the way) . Beautiful images of abundance and the rhythm of the seasons set in a basket of wonderful rhymes. Fine penning. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxx
Now this is a great poem if ever I saw one, I love the mood and the theme-set it pulls the reader in to a safe and warm country setting whilst teaching a lesson at the same time. This could quite easily be your best poem so-far Ernestine, ...(QUALITY WRITING) Well done Love duncan X
Poetess E.>>>Is it fair to say that GOOD POET'S love to write about th'effulgence of Autumn? Of course it is...And th' proof is above this box, in enhancitive measure. BTW: LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A 3'ER OUT THERE (to go along w/ th' Oner) same person, proably) ...FOOLS ; ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''FJR
I'm so tired after reading this. It's so realistic I feel like I've done all this labour myself! BTW - 'plough' vs. 'plow', the way it's spelled in the US. Good to be reminded of that difference. I had almost forgotten.
