Winners:
1st place:
@Azsimuth
The poem made me feel like I had been there before. Lovely writing and word choice. It speaks for itself.
2nd place:
@Turtleshadow
Set the scene beautifully with vivid imagery, and with a very unique theme. However, the rhythm seemed a little strange at times and read more like a storybook.
3rd place:
@xX_Thundah
A playful poem with a strong (if not consistent) rhythm. Sounds lyrical, like a cheerful nursery rhyme.
Thank you to everyone else for all the entries! It was very hard to decide between some of them. A special mention to @Cub The Cubic and @AshBTK for their writing too. You can add me in-game to collect the prizes, or DM me your realm if you have a donation table and tip piggy.

The food is yummy
yummy in my tummy
I sell my food to feed my family
I don't even know if this rhymes
The sun shines bright
Peace and harmony is implied
The warm scenery of the land
Enlightens my life's insight
Then I think farming is just for you!
You can mine berries, potatoes and a tomato crop
And some little farm animals but not those who hop.
Little tiny chickens they all lay some eggs
They are helpful in cooking, and they only got 2 legs (bruh)
Some cows give some milk, for our bones to run
Well i think farming is REALLY fun!
Now it's time to head on to Farmer's Coop
Where you sell all those crops you planted
Make sure you've harvested it right and done
Then recubes are given and granted.
Well hop on and join this sight
Farming is a productive thing to do all night (uhhh xD)
Although you need to wait for the crops to grow
I think doing this is a delight.
Blueberries are blue
Does this rhyme?
No
my eyes deliver,
a nice outpost lies,
And all my grief dies,
While the cattle graze,
the chicken lays,
happily sleeps,
into his dreams he leaps,
and sees a world of peace,
The geese are swimming,
and the grass is trimming,
as the cattle finish grazing.
The red barn stands upon the hill,
entirely in chill,
from it, a human walks out,
and looks about,
then, with a pitchfork in hand,
the work starts grand,
the tractor is now working,
and the field is shrinking,
A world full that beautiful,
yet un-dutiful,
if i look away,
it returns the grey,
unhappy day.
no one is happy
everyone is mad
give me cubit thank
Waiting for my crops to grow
The sun shines on the crops
But it never shines on me ,or my tops,
The machines help the crops ,pluck and plow,
I always need to remember to feed the cow!
The chickens freezing in the winter, their feathers cold
Make to sure warm them up, so when we kill them we sell them no mold!
Oh the farming life is hard,
So hard so hard?
It's a tough job being a farmer at the yard!
No time to Waste!
Keep a time On those crops!
oh no One day to late
the plants have seild there fate.
How could u forget?
the sun will shine on you no more.
This is the punishment
You have made.
Have fun in your new grave.:>
The hours pass as the mid-day forms
Life on the farm can be hard at times
but in the mean-time, let’s come up with a rhyme!
The cows depend on me, I milk them everyday,
They need to be milked, there’s no other way,
The afternoon sun rages on,
beating down on us while we swim in the pond,
to beat the heat of the day,
we get soaking wet, a perfect way!
As the day ends, so does our energy,
so we drink a liquid called NRG,
it stands for Not Really Good,
and trust me, it tastes worse than wood,
Mom tucks us in and kisses us goodnight
But after she leaves, it’s time for a pillow fight!
Now we are tired, and we need our rest,
and we know, that sleep is best,
another day has come and gone by,
but as a midnight snack, let’s have some pie!
Our work begins when the sun is lit.
Digging galore,
Our backs are sore!
Our crops need a pluck,
Doesn't that just suck?
Riding on my truck,
With all the pigs on mud (yuck)!
Milking my ol' bull,
(her milk tastes a little dull)
It's time for our chickens to lay sum' eggs,
While I hang my coat on my peg!
Well, won't you look at that? It's a little chick!
Be careful though, it's a little sick!
Riding on my truck,
Looking at the ducks,
I lost one of them,
Just my luck!
Riding on my truck,
Driving on some muck,
With my dog sleeping at his job!
Doesn't that just suck?
Riding on my truck,
Going back home,
Off to bed,
With my sleepy head
Just lying on the floor!
last minute too XD
The once joyous farmland came to waste,
But why was it sudden? What is the cause?
The answer is simple, it's the time of drought.
Day by day, the crops withered,
the scorching sun had them wilted.
The qbees took what's remaining
of their decaying wilted crops.
No water could have sustained them,
so they wilted under the sun.
Since the crops had withered away,
There was no food for the plenty.
The stock of rice could barely sustain
But the qbees still shared every grain.
The farm animals were starved as well
Weak and thin and unhappy.
With only the food scraps to be fed
the critters were starved almost to death.
now the qbees lined up on a well
Taking up the water for themselves.
All desperate to quench their thirst
but still they put the other qbees first.
Every bucket was lowered even more;
the water supply was draining.
Many qbees are still thirsty,
Heard were cries of the longing.
The qbees then shared their supply at the others,
though its barely enough, and they still felt thirst,
They shared what they have to the other qbees,
especially to the qbees who has the least.
Oh how wonderful the farm was before,
Joyous, exciting, and so much more.
The once happy farmland,
with many kinds of plants.
it is always full of music and laughter,
and the qbees had all sang together.
Every harvest feast,
The qbees come and meet,
share their stories and sing their songs.
dancing about all night long.
But happy as the memories seem,
But the past was like a distant dream.
The qbees missed the gentle breeze,
the smell of food, the drops of rain.
But then they could only feel
nothing but sadness and pain.
The qbees may have no food to eat,
but they still have each other.
They knew they could survive this
As long as they're together.
