Isn't that just a lovely tradition, past from grandfather to grandson, the only thing missing is the father, but it's so nice having a generational industry, and nothing more noble than the farm, a beautifully written Naani, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Thanks Roy! Our son, wife and boys live next door on the farm, but my son had his fill of it when he was a kid growing up. And his first son has no interest, but Carter had the instinct of a babe and still has it.
Thanks for the lovely review my friend and as always, such kind words!

I thought so, yep born with love of it
Comment from GTG345
Wow, just a great poem with a story behind it. What I noticed after looking at it for a bit is that there is no verb in it. Maybe you could somehow reword it to have the word "work" in it. Like "working hard to fulfill my dreams"

Not a bad idea my friend. I think I had a few syllables left that I could use. I think I will go check it out. Thank you for the awesome feedback and kind review. I will go do that edit right now.

This is a good mix of words and artwork.
It shows how love of the land and those who farm it starts early in life.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Thank you so very much Joan for such a kind review and comments, as we are so blessed to have one of our next door grandsons have the instinct from such a babe and followed him to this point.

How wonderful to see a young generation growing up with their 'field of dreams' not in technology or finance but close to Mother Nature as effectively portrayed here in thisNaani

Comment from Terry Broxson
This is an excellent entry for this contest and the picture is perfect! Good luck in the contest. Field of Dreams does conjure up the baseball movie, but this poem makes it a real deal with hard work. Good work. Terry.

Thanks Terry! You seem to be the first one who caught that it was the title for the Kevin Costner movie. I originally named it The Field, which is pretty boring and I always try to make my title sound interesting, as long as it matches the poem. You were so kind with your review my friend and I thank you so very much!

How beautiful. Your informative notes add richness. If all people were like this young one, the planet would be in good and wise hands. Best wishes for your Naani in the contest.

I like this writing prompt and you did a creative job with it.
The photo adds a layer of texture to the sentiment left.
I find it refreshing to hear that a young person has been so interested in farming from such an early age. Our planet needs more kids like him.

Thank you so much KL! You are so sweet as always and I thank you so much for such a lovely review and comments. Thank you also for my grandson, as he's having fun as I read him the reviews
Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the picture. What you wrote is simple but to the point, these are all what a farmer needs
I appraise the old farmer dates.
They have a family bond which is missing today.
Good work

Comment from C.A.Currie
It's nice to see that there are still families who instill pride and ownership to family matters, along with integrity and hope for the future generations.
Very well expressed!
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs, Sunshine and Unicorns from my heart to yours

The poem flows well. It meets the requirements of the form. The language is warm and conversational. The picture fits well with the poem.
Thanks for a good read.
