Darke County Senior Scribe
Fall
By Lois Wilson

Once again Senior Scribe Poet Laureate Lois Wilson is on top of the season with her insightful look at the important events of the day.

Once again it’s the change of seasons. Lois offers three pieces… The Farmer’s Top Tool (want to guess what it is?), The Land Awaits (for what?) and Spruce-Up Time (as Mother Nature prepares us for…)

Enjoy.

Wilson's completed set - five volumes - of published poetry is available and is offered as a fundraiser for the Darke County Scholarship Fund. Some editions are running low, said put in your request soon. A sixth edition is currently at the printer. Enjoy great poetry and help a local youngster attend college. For additional information, contact editor@countynewsonline.org.


THE FARMER’S TOP TOOL
 
He pampers the crops in his fields
With practices to increase yields.
At harvest, bushels per acre
Prove to be a record breaker—
Success from the knowledge he wields.

THE LAND AWAITS
 
Not too long after sowing,
Field plants are green and growing.
Throughout summer heat and rain,
Crops can thrive producing grain.
Cool nights turn their colors gold,
Omen of the coming cold.
Farmers harvest row by row—
Leave the land to face the snow.

SPRUCE-UP TIME
 
A grove of stately trees
Standing along the shore
Mirrored images make—
A still world on the lake.
Then blows a blast of breeze,
And gusts grow to a roar.
Tree branches twist and roll;
The wind exacts its toll.
Twigs and leaves cast with ease
Form a debris downpour.
Most sink or waft away
Caught in the current’s sway.
Do such frantic cleaning sprees
Show us Mother Nature’s way
Of changing outdoor décor?
