Picturesque sky sun-soaked fields <br />Fragile china clouds protect and shield <br />Flaxen yellow sunflower seeds yield <br />Nourishing rainstorms a tempest wields <br /> <br />Sugarcane stalks sweeten the air <br />Peppermint herbs grow without care <br />Rustic red barn, cattle and horses share <br />Flower filled trellis adds colorful flare <br /> <br />The sun sets with a harvest moon in place <br />Buckboard filled hayride grab a space <br />Spooky stories by tales from the crypt <br />Made this day of fun worth the trip <br /> <br />A tapestry of beautiful fabric cut for me <br />This vision of beauty will always be <br />Sweet memories of the past take flight <br />Fireflies and jasmine flavor the night <br /> <br />This was the night of my first kiss <br />Hay loft with Billy a taste of bliss <br />Memories I will treasure all my days <br />Every time upon a harvest moon I gaze. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright ©2005 Carole Cookie Arnold<br /><br />Carole Cookie Arnold<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/china-clouds/
