Farm Life



A breathtaking, beautiful horizon across the pastures.
Thoughts of days gone by, yesteryear, as I load
the truck for today's sales.  A treasure of blossoms
to brighten a heart, to lift a spirit and to freshen the air.

Time waits for no one.  At the break of dawn, I shall
travel many miles to bring smiles of delight to
homes of the unknown.

As dusk descends I travel home for a
a festive sanctuary of stews and bread and to
add a bouquet of wondrous colors to lighten the
burden of farm life and struggles to survive.

Yet again I arise to smell the flowers.

  1. Your poem is also a breathtaking vision and journey of flowers to their destination to the farm. Flowers always are a wonderful accent to the table and to the heart. Your lovely poem captures that wonderfully.

  3. What a great idea, Regina, of you actually delivering the flowers and potted plants for sale by those wishing to impart their love. And written in a very interesting way . . . beautiful . . . :)

  4. I like that it reads like a journal entry, a glimpse into someone's days which tells us all sorts of wonders about her heart.

  7. I agree with a Magaly about it sounding like a journal entry. Maybe that’s why the imagery was so good. Lovely poem, Regina.
