All Comments on 'Accident'

It's a chilling poem. Poems like this tend to be too dramatic. I prefer a bit of subtlety, and this is rather subtle. I am confused about the combine, though. I'm picturing the mom driving a car past the field and she has an accident. But you also write about the combine's accident: <i>the combine/so big and strong/succumbs to gentle earth/“slow down mommy”/rolling over in the ditch/early morning silence disturbed/combine’s roof/final resting place.</i> So, did the car hit the combine or did they both wreck?

Another well written poem. I love seeing new work from you.
