I am glad you liked this one. We saw lots of fields on our way back home, we came through Kansas. The farm machinery ran constantly, and the irrigation systems were already hard at work. Depending on where we were, we also saw fresh mown and baled alfalfa hay and other grasses. I bet you enjoy watching everything go through its growth stages. When the ears of corn ripen do you like to boil the field corn? It has a wonderful flavor all its own. I like to cut it off the cob, fry and cream it, the 'good ole southern' way.
Glad you enjoyed this one. Luff, Carolyn

Good end rhyming. Good rhyming with field/wield/wield. Good alliteration with so/sweet...but/blights...fall/faith. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

Comment from GracieAnn
Carolyn, we saw fields of rapeseed just outside the the city limits of London. It was the first time I had ever seen it. Beautiful. You have drawn such a lovely word picture of the integral part that the farmer plays with growing things...an admirable profession. Well constructed and delivered. :0 GracieAnn

GracieAnn,
I am glad you have seen Rapeseed growing. I never have, but each crop any farmer grows, require much the same progressive path to producing a good yield.
Thanks for your thoughtful and interesting comments.

Comment from Sanku
Thanks for the information on rapeseed.I did not know that rape seed and canola are the same. this is a beautiful poem with stanzas in monorhyme and it echoes the rhythm of planting.

Hi, Carolyn.
This is a wonderful poem. You really captured spring so well with the ideas of planting, a time of new growth. Thank you for the informative note at the bottom. Something new I had no knowledge of before.
Bye

Carolyn, I learned something more today. Indeed I had heard of canola, but did not know where it came from. I love this poem, it is nice and flows well. Nice job. Miss Sally

Carolyn, I especially thank you so much for your office notes because it was really revealing and helpful. Your poems mono rhymes are difficult ones to do especially to make them not strained And labored or even forced And your rhythm vote very smoothly throughout the poem even with the Mono rhymes which I said to be a difficult but honorable trial to do this. Thank you so much for sharing and posting this work for others. Your farmers poem of planting and reaping is an excellent one and once living on a farm I could feel it truly and may the Lord be with you always.

Comment from Spitfire
Certainly an interesting name for a plant- rapeseed. Has unpleasant connotations! So it's the source of Canola oil. I take it this year the crop was low because of blights and pests. That means higher prices. sigh...

The part about the blights and pest was just made up for the sake of the poem. Don't panic we can still fry our chicken, LOL So glad you enjoyed this one, Carolyn
