All About Harvesting

By Quentin 

 

The whiplash scratched me

As boss shouted I want my money

 

It was me he was talking about

He was going to fire me no doubt

 

I worked as a cultivator

But I wanted to be a waiter

 

I got to tend my vegetation

Cause that’s the way we feed the nation

 

Now I’m getting on my feet

I got to go and tend my beet

 

In my Garden there are crops to reap

If I don’t pick them now they will not keep

 

I planted my crops each in a row

And weeded beds so the crops would grow

 

And not be strangled by the weeds

That germinate more quickly than seeds

 

Seeds I have planted, it would appear

Since my crops mature in one full year.  

 

Harvesting                      

by Livia P. 

 

That big bumpy bean  

growing under the sun   

is heavy and green      

 

Put a seed in the soil

it is out and growing          

a reward for your toil

 

It was very hot

and finally the day came

they were in the pot

 

Even if a bit gummy

I was very happy

They were very yummy

 

Harvest Poem

By Orsola 

 

Picking all

those fury beans

feeling proud

being satisfied

 

Touching all your bumps

just like a camel's hump

that crunchy sound

while opening up

 

Now tasting it

feeling guilty

that strange

and sour taste

 

Remembering when

I planted you

just like giving a life

and then taking it away

 

All our memories

when for the first time

POP!

you see that bean

 

Still feeling cruel

for what I did

but now

can't go back again

 

"Seeds" by Joshua

Inspired by William Carlos Williams

 

So much depends

upon

 

the big green

seeds

 

with all the months

it takes

 

at the end they 

are good

 

“Untitled”

By Sophia 

 

In the garden planting

don't worry seeds

he said

you will grow

from small

to big

from weak

to strong

until

your time

will come

like a fish needs water

and a

butterfly needs its wings

like a mother needs her daughter

and a

door needs a key

your time will come

all you have to do

is wait

he said

turning away

with a smile

on his face 

 

"Harvest"

by Federico

 

Furry and green

Your taste is so keen

Long I have waited

To savor this fava bean

 

With cheese you're a delight

Alone you're a fright

Now it's time to harvest

I can't wait to take a bite

 

I can tell you one thing,

I feel like flying

As I taste the fava bean

I choke on it and now I'm dying
