Harvesting Poems

In the beginning a seed was planted
nurturing nouns, adjectives and verbs
verses and phrases were expanded 

Vines of thought; quick minds adapted
fragmentation thrown to the curb
in the beginning a seed was planted 

In the garden nothing taken for granted
writing about earth while birds chirp
verses and phrases were expanded

Lyrical poems from the heart enchanted
the melody a mystery it was never heard
in the beginning a seed was planted

In the garden time was spent meandering
searching for the meaning of new words
verses and phrases were expanded

hidden seeds remain UN-planted
a precious supply kept on reserve
in the beginning a seed was planted
verses and phrases were expanded

WD 2026 April Pad Challenge Day 30
For today's prompt, write a harvest poem. Some may remember that we started off this year's challenged planting seeds; now, it's harvest time. The harvest season is a time when some things end, but others continue, and there's plenty of reason to celebrate. And remember that you've been sowing all month.
