A Farmer's Life Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Fabulous image and representation of an honest farmer.......top marks surely.

A poem so close to my heart, dearest Rose. A farmer toils from sunrise to sunset without realising the sweat and blood given to Mother earth.

Part 2…. When I read this marvellous poem, I am reminded of a famous story from the epics, Lord Mahavishnu and Sage Narada appear beside the protagonist, an unknown farmer. I shall try to tell you this story some day.

A farmer has no time to spare, for the crops on his field demand his attention 24x7. I am a farmer myself and I know. Thank you, Rose Marie for understanding a farmer's woes. Nice one. Top score and myfav

Insightful, profound, clear, focused and factual. Great lines of poetry. Thanks for sharing, Rose. Remain enriched.

Sounds like you may have lived on a farm?

He has no time to spare for himself. Dark clouds loom over the field.

A wonderful poetic image that leaves the farmer between the pincers of toil and the vicissitudes of the terrain and the atmosphere. Rose is always close to nature and its contents, a brilliant poet.

They are the most important figures who keep our civilized world going, they feed our cities and yet get little reward. A fantastic celebration!

Now that is capturing the truth of a human life through the snapshots of him hard at work---dang, that's the way to deal life truth's through poetry.. much more than a 5 star poem, deserves best poem status. You let the character of the man speak for itself---awesome! To MY Favorites!
