    The Fields of Hay
    The fields of hay, drooping in the autumn rain,
    Stand too late for harvest, sad and left behind.
    But here in dry country, there is hope
    The southwest winds will blow again
    warm and strong and certain.
    And the sagging shafts will lift their heads,
    For the grass is strong, bred tough and patient,
    And the harvest certain;
    Only delayed a while by rain

    I love this simple poem. Your poems speak of a closeness to the natural world, in all its glory.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
