so nearly autumn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
maybe:
she yawns
while bailing hay-
it's nearly autumn
I think that 'so' is unnecessary in this
I really like this, especially the ties to the midwest and farming. My grandpa is a farmer, and I've helped bail hay, it's hard labor! I think nowadays, people don't know what it means to work had. So, i like the midwestern work-ethic that I feel in this piece
thank you for entering and g'luck
tell me if you make edits

'haymaking' could have a different connotation here s-p
and 'so nearly autumn' is maybe a reference to her advancing years. -
