Autumn rains lasting for days
Covering the land with mist
Cleansing under cloudy haze
Rising pollen, now dismissed
Harvest pausing, farmers wait
Parking soybeans, left to take
Drying cornstalks, know their fate
Standing ready, combines brake
Creeks filling, slowly at first
Running water, sent ahead
Suspending reservoirs’ thirst
Pausing for now, winter’s dread
Nature’s perfect cycle breathes
Singing praises to the Lord
Watching as autumn unsheathes
Waking when spring comes aboard
Oh beautifully said. Every line like water imagery flows. An enjoyable read…and I love fall rain. Thank you.

Having grown up on a farm, the imagery is so vivid to me. Fall rain has a very distinct feel and smell, especially in fields ready for harvest. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your memory of growing up on a farm. While I grew up in the city, much of my teaching was done in more rural places. Living in Ohio now, I enjoy driving by the nearby fields of corn and soybeans, ready for harvest.
