Farm Boy After Summer Poem by Robert Francis
Farm Boy After Summer
A seated statue of himself he seems.
A bronze slowness becomes him. Patently
The page he contemplates he doesn't see.
The lesson, the long lesson, has been summer.
His mind holds summer, as his skin holds sun.
For once the homework, all of it, was done.
What were the crops, where were the fiery fields
Where for so many days so many hours
The sun assaulted him with glittering showers.
Expect a certain absence in his presence.
Expect all winter long a summer scholar,
For scarcely all its snows can cool that color.
It is abeautiful poem on seasons having haunting expression. Nice penmanship.
So happy to see a poem on a farmer, Beautifully portrayed are the assaulting sun, glittering showers and the fiery fields
'Expect a certain absence in his presence. Expect all winter long a summer scholar, For scarcely all its snows can cool that color. '.. is very nice. Beautifully crafted. Loved it.
I find this poet somewhat oblivious. His attempts are miserably unimaginative.
In general I find this poet somewhat oblivious. I truly find it is without imagination.
Another cool (maybe I should say, hot?) poem offered to us today. As a former student stuck in a classroom and as a teacher observing daydreaming students, who cannot relate to this well-wrought picture? -GK
