Three Sisters: A Poem

Posted on July 6, 2014 | 5 Comments

There once were three sisters named Squash, Corn and Bean
No lovelier ladies had ever been seen
They all worked together, supportive and kind
Corn first, Bean came second with Squash right behind

Bean grew up the corn, squash hugged them together
No wind could destroy them, no inclement weather
How lovely they looked, a tangle of green
No lovelier ladies had ever been seen

    Hi Melissa! I am currently writing homeschool curriculum and would LOVE to use your poem in the homestead unit! Would this be okay if I placed your name as the author?
