Special Feature Collaborative Poem--By Sara Kendrick and John Loving III--United States

Life's Never Ending Changes

By Sara Kendrick and John Loving III

a weathervane still
points east 'pon gray ancient barn...
fall's air rust tractors

the vain weathervane speaks east
and rust grows though no one knows

rusty John Deere sits
outside engine deep in grass...
bucks face off for a fight

the leaves are falling
revealing the trees' fractures
fall's air thrust factors

crimson, gold, and red leaves fall
farm lake ~ mural of the scene

John Deere the artist
tractors in the grass like clouds
wearing the weather

  5. Wow Sara and John, what imagery. I loved reading your collaborative poem. You did justice to the Autumn scene describing the rusty John Deere, the old grey barn, with the fallen leaves. What a magnificent picture you painted. Thank you for sharing your talents. And welcome to Whispers John. We are glad you joined us. We are looking forward to more of your talent.
