Harvest Poem by Tom Smith
It’s harvest time, that time of year
the combines rumble over the rolling hills
and the tractors screech down the country lanes.
The fruit is ripe
and the blackberries appear
Harvest time, it’s that time of year.
Pictured below are the overall adult winner Emma Hewitt with her daughter Jess and junior winner Amber Brice.
