The Family Farm
by Richard L. Provencher is a forgotten shamble of shapes struggling for balance above an unkempt pasture. Our old home as fallen timbers a weather-ravaged sanctuary for mice and other creatures a sliver of sky peeking through one last dusty window pane apple trees and pussy willows pouting aside the river bank. The leftover scene provides an album of reminiscing. As children we swam in the creek chased cows fed pigs minded the chickens helped momma and poppa always busy with chores. Sadly we grew into city folk a long time ago. Richard L. Provencher Richards Web: www.wsprog.com/rp/ Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online.
