MY ATTEMPT AT WRITING POETRY: THE WHEATFIELD REVEALED
The following poem was published in the Clover Collection of Verse Vol. XII, edited by Evelyn Petry, in 1976.
THE WHEATFIELD REVEALED
Friendless you toiled with palette and brush,
Forlorn amidst wheatfields with only the rush
Of flying crows to mark the day,
Crossed paths unite yet yield no safe way,
Fulfillment beneath sorrowful skies
Painting with troubled soul once cries
Out for love but finds only torment,
Thus, your life spent.
Tramping through fields of cypress and corn
With stars and suns swirl in a morn,
Hatband-held candles yield flickering light
Sustaining your soul on last starry night,
Rooks swirled in violet a soul hungers still,
Standing alone – the wheatfield revealed.
