Colonel Magic
by Nancy Ness

A magic place where time stands still,
In sleight illusionary way;
As country folk remand new will
By clinging fast to simpler day.

Reliving epochs seen as past,
As yesterday from morrow's shorn
Defying modern day's repast,
Time spent to greet earth's sprouting corn.

Life's wheel bespoke divergent cog,
In turn enjoined, allied at busk;
As kernels grown of common cob.
A harvest pared of silken husk.

Our choice to till past fields secure,
Predicting crops yield just amount;
Or opt future's magic allure -
To forge great lakes and move staid mount.

 

A simile is as easy as pie, but a metaphor is a piece of cake!
