Fall
By Lois Wilson
Once again Senior Scribe Poet Laureate Lois Wilson is on top of the
season with her insightful look at the important events of the day.
Once again it’s the change of seasons. Lois offers three pieces… The
Farmer’s Top Tool (want to guess what it is?), The Land Awaits (for
what?) and Spruce-Up Time (as Mother Nature prepares us for…)
Enjoy.
Wilson's completed set - five volumes - of published poetry is
available and is offered as a fundraiser for the Darke County
Scholarship Fund. Some editions are running low, said put in your
request soon. A sixth edition is currently at the printer. Enjoy great
poetry and help a local youngster attend college. For additional
information, contact editor@countynewsonline.org.
THE FARMER’S TOP TOOL
He pampers the crops in his fields
With practices to increase yields.
At harvest, bushels per acre
Prove to be a record breaker—
Success from the knowledge he wields.

THE LAND AWAITS
Not too long after sowing,
Field plants are green and growing.
Throughout summer heat and rain,
Crops can thrive producing grain.
Cool nights turn their colors gold,
Omen of the coming cold.
Farmers harvest row by row—
Leave the land to face the snow.

SPRUCE-UP TIME
A grove of stately trees
Standing along the shore
Mirrored images make—
A still world on the lake.
Then blows a blast of breeze,
And gusts grow to a roar.
Tree branches twist and roll;
The wind exacts its toll.
Twigs and leaves cast with ease
Form a debris downpour.
Most sink or waft away
Caught in the current’s sway.
Do such frantic cleaning sprees
Show us Mother Nature’s way
Of changing outdoor décor?
