Old Victorian

Across her cotton fields all plowed
her cypress trees stand tall and proud
beside her barn all scratched and worn
by early frost that bites the morn
and warns what livestock still remains
to rise and shine for grains obtained
with moos and cackles, oinks and neighs
commencing each a winter's day
while looking down from turret high
a roof of shingles touches sky
and towers headdress bringing nod
that all is well with man and God.



God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

A very welcome addition.  The bond between man and God is captured in this well written poem.  All is well with man and God.

I'm thinking as the rhythms of your words harmonize my mind, how much we do have to be grateful for.  There is a spectacular peace in the images woven throughout this wordpaint--beauty at its serene best, pastoral and powerful living. Gifted vision and lovely penning!
