Click hereApproaching my autumn,
Reflections on my spring and summer
Wash over me,
leaving me in the golden glow
of a Harvest Moon.
Reap as ye sow, the elders tell
And as I look, I see
The tall, strong, full grown stalks of my sowing,
My children, my sons,
My corn, my harvest.

BlackShanglanover 19 years agoI love the concrete, tactile simplicity of the final stanza. Ripe, strong, and a pleasure to read. Very nice work, Mat.

Belegonover 19 years ago...are so damn hard! I always struggle with them myself. That lil bit o' selfishness aside, I really like your effort Mat!
PatCarringtonover 19 years agovery nice poem / very bad title / if it were not a part of the challenge, i would have passed it over because of the title alone / after reading, that would have been an obvious error /
annaswirlsover 19 years agonice job! Thanks for playing :)
I enjoyed the use of metaphor to convey your message and the sparse language. I would love to chat with you so I can ask some questions about this-- let me know if you would like to do that--

Brilliant job Mat!! Loved it (and not said just as a friend)

irishcatsmeowover 19 years agoThis poem speaks of pride and contentment...in yourself and in your sons. What greater harvest is there than this? Great way of telling your story.
