Dirty Winter


The stalks were there,


tall khaki rows but no


corn, no heavy harvest waiting


to thump, ka-whump


against the old wagon sideboard.


The wagon sat,


shedded,


hiding from the cold.


The farmer the same,


shedded,


fearful,


his misery elongated by January;


his disabled land drought-stricken,


dying.


His hopes dying too,


as the dust blew.

So very nicely done, Diana. Believe it or not, I have pulled corn and thrown it kathump against the sideboard of the old horse-drawn wagon. And not just as a lark, either. That's the way we did it for several years.
Best regards,
Leland

An interesting commentary on the tragedy of the "Dust Bowl". The tone is as stark as was the land...

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
