What did you do with
Sweet spare moments
Before the Internet?
Joel, he avoids the Web like the plague.
He works hard on his farm and
between chores
sits on a bale of hay
surveying his green fields
watching the calves at play
pondering his next task or
sometimes, when his eyes follow the long fence line to the horizon,
he considers original ecological regeneration
the beauty of sustainability and
the glory of God.

I especially like the bale of hay. And the calves. :)
I like the contrast in your language here--moving between something traditionally poetic and something with jarring words of trade.
It came together for me most startling in these two lines:
follow the long fence line to the horizon,/ he considers original ecological regeneration
Thank you for sharing your poetry with Books and Culture.
