The sunlight and the color of the grain produce not merely a stunning visual effect, but also cause to look forward to the autumn, to the harvest, when rich rewards are obtained.

Wanna swap weathers? Cold and wet here today...

Your haiku presents a vivid picture of late summer/autumn fields particularly in the first two lines - you capture both the colour and the heavy feel of the atmosphere.

Good luck.

I think flowing wheat is one of the most beautiful sights nature has to offer. It is so graceful, almost like a thousand ballerina's. I also like the conformity of wheat, The stalks are so semetrically lined up, and the golden color is captivating, just like your poem!

To GBR:

Your well-chose words make me feel, and smell, this bucolic scene. Lines one and two may be read as interlinked grammatically and syntactically; and/or they may stand alone, and still make sense. The satori makes the reader long hopefully, expectantly, for the coming seasonal change. Good word-picture.

    sorry LOL I meant haiku guy

    P.S. The phrase "well-chosen" should appear as it is spelled in this sentence. I apologize for the typo "well-chose" in my review.

Being raised a country gal, I can appreciate the picture this poem paints. At harvest time there is a feel in the air and the dancing wheat fields are a beautiful sight.

This is a super presentation. The artwork is awesome. Good job wit the syllable count. Your lines paint an awesome picture. When we have "heavy air" it is usually a temperature inversion and it is stifling.

Best wishes in the contest. Thank you for the video, too.

You get an image of golden wheat stalks swaying in the wind before they are reaped by the farmer. You use both sight and sound well in this haiku. You get a feeling of late summer or early fall.

Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing

Hi Gypsy,

I just love your haiku poem, it is so beautiful, I can just see in my minds eye the fields of gold dancing in the breeze. I played the video and I loved it.

I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Mary

I smell the wheat in the field
The time is close to cut with care
Gather the wheat into bales
Than move all to the barns as well

So the end of summer does fell
When now comes the turn to autumn thrills
Well this i think the contest to be
The season shown with the harvest to be

Good luck in the contest I entered as well
