Hurry and Wait

I wrote this a few days ago for a writing challenge. I'm no poet, but it does portray the current state of farm affairs.

Icicles drip from barn roof and

Snowdrifts melt into glaciers and

Only two weeks left and

Pitchfork heaps straw mush and

Tractor pyramids manure and

Spud bar jackhammers ice and

Shovel carves canyons for corral rivers and

Culvert ices clear through and

Puddles freeze gates shut overnight and

Where did I leave that shovel and

Wind and Sun, come and

Sanctify dank nursery ground and

Soon! calving starts in March

But out in the field

Cows waddle heavy to water

One leg at a time

Eating, chewing, napping, growing bigger yet

Waiting easy.
