Fallow fields awake

Beneath the harvest moon's gaze

Forgotten souls weep

Earth, like all of us,

needs a rest, a nice lie-down

to not be frazzled

___

Here we honour soil

by letting her take a break,

plumping the pillows

Weeds partake the fallow field.

Root rewards dug down deep.

Replenish barren wastes with tiny flowers that butterflies will grace.

For one barren year -

Untouched, unploughed, unseeded -

I play the crone field

Empty ground yawns wide

Fallow fields in autumn’s gaze

Awaiting new life.

So beautiful, I love the sort of sleepy, hibernating vibe🖤

When harvest's over,

The land longs to be, at rest,

Unburdened, and free... 😎

Fallow is my heart

Much like land, no seeds planted

Left alone, empty

The forgotten fields

Have long since gone to fallow

Nothing to swallow

Ha! Nice, I love the image of soil swallowing seeds🖤

Also humans, no food, nothing to swallow. That’s what I was going for.

Oh, yeah that does make perfect sense 😅 I guess my brain took the road less traveled on that one. It does that… well a lot actually🧠🫠

Prompt: Fallow

- Resting Earth

Fields sigh in stillness,

plow blades rust in quiet dirt—

next season’s promise.

- Creative Pause

Ink dries on the page,

fallow thoughts stretch in silence—

words wait to be sown.

- Brown Eyes

Fallow eyes observe

the golden dust of the plains,

seeing drought, or peace?

- Dormant Love

Hearts lay fallow now,

untouched by any harvest—

longing rains will come.

- Abandoned Lot

Fallow weeds arise

where bricks once stood, dreaming high—

ghosts of walls remain.

- Quiet Mind

Thoughts lie fallow, still—

a silent revolution

stirs beneath the calm.

- Winter’s Hold

Fallow fields sleep tight,

buried under frozen winds—

spring hides in the soil.

- Silent Studio

Brushes fallow rest,

no colors drip from their tips—

blank canvas whispers.

- Fallow Soul

Spirit left uncult

sways in the winds of stillness—

roots wait in shadow.

- Golden Meadow

Fallow grasses wave,

golden brown under the sky—

sun and soil entwined.
