words are spider, ghost,scarecrow,snake and cat,
The cat was chasing a snake under the scarecrow
I walked into the field,dodging spider webs galore
I often wondered if ghosts visited would I know?
The cat stopped and I wondered whats in store?
The snake was caught in a spider web how odd
The cat hissed,snake lunged and I threw a sod
Mr snake decided we were too much and left
Picking up the silly cat I cannot say I was bereft,.
So the scarecrow stood alone in the field
I wondered how many ghosts were revealed
Old farmers plowing the dusty fields
Old crops waiting oh the big yields.
Just because we see no ghosts means nothing
Perhaps we hear old sounds, memories bring
The past becomes a living thing

I loved the idea of a scarecrow watching the ghosts of crops and farmers past! Lovely use of the words!
