Farm Wife

Earth's grand eruption of life

blossoms and grows anew

green shoots, pink petals promise fruit. 

Farm wife tends lavish gardens

Back bent painfully

Rewards reaped for hoeing long. 

Earthy woman all day through

Vital lover’s kiss

greets night’s darkness with passion.

Sleep comes suddenly to her

His shoulder under cheek

Her lashes flutter down softly. 

Season to season life runs

Hot and cold in turn

Love continues without cease. 

For the IndieInk Writing Challenge this week, Allyson challenged me with "Write a narrative constructed out of a series of haiku." and I challenged Bran macFeabhail with "Write a pivotal moment in a personal history that swings on the most trivial occurrence. "
