A Field Guide to Fields

 

Watermelons, sunflowers, field corn, sweet corn

Sweet potatoes, green peas, butterbeans, squash

Cabbages, purplehulls, lettuces in rows

And across the fence, red clover in glorious clouds

 

But the most glorious field is in midsummer hay

Green-dancing beneath the benevolent sun

Crosstracked by beagles, terrapins, foxes, and rabbits

And little boys off to the fishing hole

 

Those little paths across farm fields, you know

Lead to happy memories of the long-ago
