Grandmother's Farmstead (Poem)

Grandmother’s Farmstead

Poetic, isn’t it?
Bushels divided
Into rhyming sequence
Of color
As wagons roll
Journeying into town
In sweet metre
Exchanging tender
For nutriment
In the marketplace

And now-
The passage of generations
Sharing usufruct
Where raspberries ripened
And corn tassels
Waved their hellos and goodbyes
