scarecrow and poppy

in a barren forgotten field

sat a lonely scarecrow

straw poking out its mouth

and shirt in tatters

who knows how long it sat

protecting nonexistent crops

in a barren forgotten field

near the lonely scarecrows feet

a flower begun to grow

at first just a small green bud

soon to bloom with red petals

in a barren forgotten field

the scarecrow finally had a friend

a beautiful poppy giving it company

swaying in the gentle wind

in a barren forgotten field

heavy clouds loomed over the scarecrow and its friend

and soon a wall of water hit them both

but they were fine

because they had each other

in a barren forgotten field

a sparrow sat on the scarecrows head

poking at its straw filled eyes

but then the sparrow saw the poppy

and tore its beauty to shreds

swallowing all its seeds

in a barren forgotten field

the scarecrow was lonely once again
