A poem I'm stuck on. Please help

Feedback Received!

So I've been writing this poem for over a month, but can't seem to feel good about it yet. Constructive feedback would be much appreciated:

.

.

Fields of Gold

If not for a lack of lakes and rivers,

This serene place could be home.

.

An immeasurable number of golden straws

Rising four feet tall, worshipping the sky above.

.

A field of grasses stealing sunshine,

Bowed down and laden with seed.

.

Straws providing shelter and beauty,

Harboring the livings of animals around.

.

A swath of rolling hills of gold,

Dogged by trees of oliver and rust.

.

A blanket of threads woven together,

Ruffled amongst the wind.

.

Butted up against the Sierras,

Purple mountains topped with purity.

.

White snow, to cap off the beauty,

As it glances against the sapphire sky.

.

As the golden grasses run through my toes,

‘Tis the sheer beauty around to observe.

.
