Yesterday Poem by Sidi Mahtrow

Yesterday



Smell of drying tobacco in the barn
Fresh cut hay, in the warm.
Soon summer's heat is ended
First cold snap, outside play's suspended.
Smoke from potbellied stove
Curling upward, high above.
Winter's coming anew
Sister'll be back home with you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Posted as a comment on poem: Summershade

Tobacco farm with its charm
Cherry cobbler on the wall
Flatbed pickup truck, with logs to haul
cubbyhole where id play
Woodstove to keep us warm
Sister ran away
Hiding from the storm
