A Poetry-Perfect-Photo

     Have you ever done something an' felt really good about it?  Then later, you see somethin' that reminds you of that proud moment?  I did that.  A long, long time ago, I was traveling either to or from North Dakota with my good hubby-buddy in the middle of winter.  As we drove, we were struck with how beautiful the snow was over everything.  At one point, I recall seeing fields an' fields of hay in huge round bales, each one covered with a sprinkling of snow.  Without one instant of hesitation, I hadda' grab my notebook an' start scribbling 'cause a poem had leaped into my head an' demanded to be written whilst it was fresh in my thoughts.

     Yesterday, while visiting a new neighbor on the web whom I had previously never met, I was surprised to see a picture that perfectly matched what I wanted to portray in that poem.  Believe me, I was quick about emailing the owner of that blog an' askin' if I could use her photo.  Imagine my excitement when she wrote back (about two minutes ago) an' said I could.  Below is that beautiful photo, followed by the poem I enjoyed writing, such a long time ago.  If you'd like to see some more amazing photos, be sure to go to Once Upon A Rose Haven's blog.  You won't wanna' leave.  I a'ready know you're gonna' love the picture an' I hope you enjoy the poem as much as I enjoyed writing it.

AFTER THE HARVEST

Look out across the wheat fields,

And, Oh!  What a surprise!

The shredded wheat is blooming,

I see it with my own eyes!

Where's the sugar?

Pass the milk,

It's breakfast time, I'm sure,

When shredded wheat starts blooming,

That's all I'm wishing for.

So, farmer, build a table,

Build a chair,

And build a bowl,

'Cause shredded wheat is blooming,

And it makes my hunger grow!
