Poetry Friday..Hail

Sponsored by Maggie this week : HAIL

Hail The Haiku

farmers don't want it
spells sure disaster for crops
this forecast for hail

pelts down on the corn
damaging all in its wake
it levels the grain

the beans climb no more
the cabbage is all shredded
the pea pods are split

the apples are bruised
but still used for applesauce
there is no crunch left

except in the funds
the farmer no longer has
his time has run out

one more has gone broke
all hail breaks loose at the bank
the loan is called in

Dedicated to all the farmers who have ever lost a whole crop due to a hail storm.
