on the way to next world

0 posted 2004-03-20 09:17 PM



It is so insignificant as are other hairs
can see them as I mount heaven's stairs
the stubble found on the barley's flower
doesn't add much to a nation's tactical power.
A farmer notices it with more concern than me
and these hairs help catch the wind for free

As this awn marks a neighbours lawn
after dawn will life continue to spawn?


To the next world, away from noxious masses
there are these hairs on grains and grasses,
will hold my head up above the polluted field
aware that the awn spoke of the affected yield,
that might be insignificant as are other hairs
less uneventful as would be New Year flares...

As this awn marks a neighbour's lawn
after dawn will life continue to spawn?

wordwizard,
   I'm glad I've finally opened a couple of your poems.  It seems that there just is not enough time to write, respond to people who have responded to yours, and get to read new works.  I have to admit, I've lived on a farm for years and didn't know they were called awns.  Pretty cool poem you have here,
Sir-filled with good black soil.  I hope more people check this out.  Enjoyed.
                   Sadie
