Harvest Of Love

A pumpkin patch ‘neath Harvest Moon,
A field of corn grew right beside,
And in the evening we would play,
In pumpkin patch and corn we’d hide.

We’d walk the rows and then pretend,
That we were scarecrows full of straw,
And we’d protect our field of corn,
From ravens with their noisy “Caws”.

And in the pumpkin patch at night,
The Harvest Moon made shadows there,
Of ghosts and goblins; skeletons,
But we were brave and wouldn’t scare.

When we were done, we headed home,
Where Mom served corn and pumpkin pie,
The harvest of her sweated brow,
Was given us in large supply.

A harvest and a loving home,
Are things that I remember now,
I thank the Lord for what I have,
And for these things I humbly bow.

I have read several pieces of your work now and I am drawn to your writing style and most of the content. I liked this simple story of childhood. It was simply written and told a simple story so in that sense both were complementary. Enjoyed this very much.

This was so good! It reminded me of halloween, and not just halloween but fall in general. I love how you describe everything in this poem. LOL still no errors, you must re read your poem a few times and make sure. Usualyl everyoen points out all my mishaps because of my errors and that brings down my rating. Guess i will start taking after you.
I like how you described a nice warm family because even if we don't all have one of those it is still nice to imagine we do. And all families may not be close but there are times when we have close moments.
I love harvest moons they're so gorgeous. And im the 5th comment yay. Although I'm the only one that actually left a rambling comment.
I still have tons of your work to go so....see you in the next comment.

I had to read it again.. it rolls off the tongue with sweet memories and playful images. It is what all of us grandma's want our grandkids to experience.. (smile)
