THE OLD BARN - a poem by Patricia Crandall

The old gray barn sleeps

in the windless meadow

where brilliant sunsets

crown its peaked rooftop.

Starlings

sprinkle black

along the eaves.

The old gray barn creaks

and groans, unable to surrender.

It is a keeper of mice,

    squirrels and barnyard cats,

    lofty, musty,

with remnants of happier days

when it was a haven

for children, now grown,

rarely visited

by the present generation.

Fate is a windstorm

capsizing the old barn

to a rubble of barn wood.
