Comment from Teri7
This is a very well written 5-7-5 poem about the farmers who don't have much but work hard for what they have and to help others to be able to eat. You used great words and another lovely painting by you that goes well with your words. I enjoyed reading and reviewing this. Blessings, Teri

Thank you Teri for another great review
Comment from Monica L. Moraca
Another well written piece and art work! It reminds me the story my parents tell my siblings and I how they use to toil on the farmland back home in Europe. Tending the cows for milk, and eggs from the chickens to planting and harvesting crops to sell in other villages. It was not an easy life for them - that life is all they knew. Until they arrived to the US (over 50 years ago) only to work even harder.
Thanks for sharing!

I wish I could paint. I think your painting are wonderful. Not to take away from your poetry, but I'm so impressed how real your paintings are...does that make sense? Love your short poems too.

Comment from LIJ Red
The noble potato...wish I had some hash browns all smothered and covered and strangled and stomped...I am not the authority on five seven fives, but this looks fine to me. Art, too.

Thank you Red. I love potatoes too. But I am diabetic so I can?t eat too much of them. I love the way cooked potatoes smell. Take care

Pam, you just have such a wealth of talents inside of that vessel of yours. You write about topics I never even dream or think about. and I can see this being therapeutic for you. There is so much creativity in your artwork and that along deserves a 6 star rating.

Comment from estory
The title of this poem caught my eye. It think you have a condensed version of the great Seamus Heaney poem, At a Potato Digging, from his first book, Death of a Naturalist. You scratch the surface here, of the struggle of farmers ekeing out a living from the hard Earth, struggling to overcome nature's adversities. I think Heaney's poem is the gold standard here, digging into many aspects of farming, the satisfaction, and the disappointment. the dependence. estory

Thank you estory. I did the painting years ago. Just wrote the poem for it this week. I am developing a collection. Thank you for your informative and excellent review
Comment from Tina Crute
This is sad and beautiful and respectful. Wealth is, defined by these farmers, a good crop and a roof over their heads, I imagine. That is what this poem brings to my mind. That, and the fact that when I helped my aunt and uncle dig up potatoes, I unearthed a mouse:)
Your poems and pictures have a special connection to each other that is remarkable. You find just the right words.
Curious...what do you do with all of your paintings? I imagine you have a lot!

Comment from June Sargent
This is a very touching painting - universal in its message. Whether it's the farmers in the Andes or the workers in rice paddies in China - the work is hard and the burdens are real. Thank you for highlighting the plight of the common man.

Hi, Pam. It appears that you are an A plus painter in addition to being a talented poet. This 5-7-5 tells an interesting story. I am curious as to what brought you to this subject matter. Well done. Blessings, Bob

Hi Bob. I just like to paint the dignity of the poor. That is all. Also played with light of a setting sun or dusk. Thank you for a great review
