ILLINOIS AUTUMN: The Continuance

THE CONTINUANCE

The Harvest
Continues
That none may be
Left unused
Some stalks
Still standing
More than
A month
Longer
Than their brothers
Are now
To join
Them
As the
Corn
Is Liberated
From its
Sheathe
To
Come
To our
Table

  1. I like thinking of corn cobs as brothers.
    But then, don't you hate to gobble them up?
