Green
To me that means spring
The snow is melting
The sap is running
Trees budding
Flowers blooming
Deer eating
Turkeys gobbling
Gears shifting
Weather warming
Grass growing
Water splashing
Sun shining
Kids playing
Wind blowing
Spring slides into summer
Winter is just a distant bummer

Green,
To me that means spring,
The snow is melting,
The sap is running,
Trees budding,
Flowers blooming,
Deer eating,
Turkeys gobbling,
Gears shifting,
Weather warming
Grass growing,
Water splashing,
Sun shining,
Kids playing,
Wind blowing,
Summer and spring,
The transition,
You can’t beat it

Farming

Farming
Cody Brouillard

Farming,
Throwing hay,
Driving tractors,
Milking cows,
Shoveling manure,
Or even feeding calves,
The distant chug of a tractor,
Or the sound of a hungry calf,
Bellowing,
Mooing,
Nothing beats it,
When you’re on a farm,
There are so many sounds,
And that’s why I love it so much!

The Goose Hunt

The Goose Hunt

By Cody Brouillard
Rochester High School, Grade 9

Laying in the blind,
5 in the morning,
Waiting for the geese,
Waiting till they start flying,
You can’t beat it,
When you see a goose coming in,
Putting on their landing gear,
Feet down,
Wings locked,
Minds set on landing,
Landing in your decoy spread,
Waiting,
Waiting to hear, “get up”
Sitting up,

Winter
