Harvest Season
Harvest season is here.
And the sun is shining brightly
in conjunction with the events of the day
Everyone is jubilant and cheerful,
for their hard work in the field has been rewarded in full.
The cornfields turn gold,
and leaves roughed-dry to the touch.
The overseer is ready to give signal
that harvest time soon to begin.
Men and women dressed in cotton
long sleeve shirts and long pants.
In their hands are sickle-like tools
for cutting the stalks and ears of corns.
While their children are playing gleefully
under the big Banyan tree.
An eight year old boy was playing harmonica.
Another boy who's ten was playing a game of sepa.
Harvest season is the most awaited event,
For the peasants who toil in the field full time.
