Giant Grain Elevators Poem by Marilyn Lott

Enormous in structure
Protrudes high into the air
A purpose, a duty
That grain farmers share

An accomplishment in Enid
Established quite a name
There is nothing like it anywhere
Right in the Great Plains

Filled grain to the brim
Can you imagine how much?
Is packed into the bins
A huge farmer’s touch

Only dots in the distance
As one rolls down the road
Shocking in size
Standing huge and bold

And what, we might ask
Will be done with them now?
Is the usefulness gone?
Like the horse and the plow?

If you get the chance folks
Observe this great view
Get your cameras ready
It’s quite a surprise for you!
