A Poem ~~ Peace and Right Planting



Straight as an arrow 
proud farmer did plant 
GPS controled
his rows did not bend 

 Life equally straight 
he went by the Book  
Rules he would not bend
fair with clan and foes 

 While storm clouds hovered 
his animals slept 
Protectorate he 
wolves and warriors bayed  

 Troubles all around 
Right wins big rewards 

Sticker from

    Ha! You saw the clouds as harbingers of trouble, I saw them as promise of rain. Both could be right!

    Love the way you make this a place of order in the midst of everything.

    I feel like you were saying more than that though: while being steadfast is a virtue, he might have been inflexible in a bad way too. Just my read.

    There is order and there is order...Perhaps he has all under control, but maybe not so workable with others. Oh what a mish mash stew we live in these days.

    I think he likes order but, sometimes the clouds come whether we want them to or not. Trouble is all a round and I hope for happy outcome after this storm.

    Control is a complicated thing. It causes some order and some chaos. The harder you hold on the more someone else feels trapped. Great and unique take on the image Jim!

    My rows always seem to bend .... GPS out of synch.

    A farmer always has one eye on the sky.............hopefully the rain will help things grow.

    Even the storm clouds seemed menacing here as the watchful, fastidious farmer waits. This made me ponder… I like that.

    GPS controlled rows which don't bend... That's an image I didn't see until you put it in my mind... Thanks for sharing...
