POETRY CORNER: Impressions of the old farm
Impressions of the old farm
by Marilou Suchar

The farm was old –
I stood, and mused
So many families
Was well used.
The barn was gone
So long ago
Just rocks remained
Of the further wall.
Small outer building
On the hill
Useless now
But stands there still.
Stumps were showing
Where once trees stood
Some were sold
Some burnt for wood.
The rock walls stand
Where fields were made
Marsh water glistened
In the glade.
It was built in 1880
For a farmer’s home
And his sweet
Young lady.
Still it stood
The test of time
One more family
This one mine.
