Harvest There is smoke upon the mountain And the valley's filled with haze And the autumn leaves are falling Through these meancholy days. As I walk the wild lake's edges, I can hear the loons mad cry And I search to see geese flying In dark "v's" across the sky And the red sun sinks in splendor, While the harvest moon appears To be larger and more yellow Than it has in other years. As I gather in the apples, I gather memories too, Of flaming sugar maple trees And of morning's pearled with dew. Of the purple evening shadows And a hundred other sights And sounds and scents and feelings, That will warm my winter nights! Betty Lou Hebert Published in National Poetry Anthology, 1989 and in Rhyme Time Magazine, 1990 [This message has been edited by Trillium (10-14-2002 05:10 PM).] |

Dear Betty, I am working on reading as much as I can. I haven't read this before. I can't tell if it's as beautiful as all of your others or more beautiful. You really have a God-given talent.Barb |

This is beautiful...when I was reading this it made me think of a fireplace keeping you warm into the winter nights after harvesting your bounty for the cold winter months. Very nice, as they always are. Terri~  |
