Freewrite Prompt number 85: Corn
5 minutes freewrite, Friday prompt: corn
Corn, I see fields of corn, waving in the wind. I travel by bike close to the corn plants. I can almost touch them. I reach out to let the plants touch my hand, while I pass them by at high speed. I am in south Germany, it's vacation, on my way to Annecy. We have stopped for the night at a Camping. We left the tent to take an evening ride on our bikes to see some of the surroundings. And I see corn, all around me. So much corn...
In Sweden we don't grow corn, it's a bit too cold. But wait... I have seen corn in South Sweden, the climate is fairly warmer down there and more suited to grow corn, I guess. I'm not so much into how growing corn works.
Today when I remember that evening on the bike I can still feel the warm wind, I can see the beauty of the very tall plants, surrounding us and making kind of a wall beside the road. It was a cool experience, 8 years ago. And I still remember it, thanks to the corn plants, I guess.

That sounds like a beautiful experience... And no wonder it is memorable. Around here, we are surrounded by corn. Farmers raise it every year and we have the saying "knee high by the 4th of July to indicate where the corn is expected to be for a good crop. Come fall, the farmers go by with their huge tractors and they cut down the corn and take it to barns . Nothing smells like corn fermenting in a silo. Nice freewrite!
After I wrote this I have learned that most countries seams to grow a lot of corn :D My little corner is an exception then... But it really look so cool with these "walls" of corn plants :)
Thanks very much my friend ❤
Sounds like we have the same experience with the fields of corn. Nice memories. : )

I love nature and I always say that nature never ceases to amaze me! : )

I like freewriting and consider pretty much everything that anyways :P
Freewrite with us! :-)
Well it is in a way :D
But I usually plan what to write and I make several edits and checks grammar and so on. Not in this kind of freewriting, that makes it very relaxed and fun. You should try it:-)

@kerlund74! Consider visiting here in the Philippines. There are a lot of corns! :)) I dunno also how they are planted but we've got various kinds of corn in here and what I like most is sweet corn! ❤ You should try to watch the movie "The Corn" it really scared me as a child. Anyways, nice free-writing Linda! Take care always and God bless! mwaaah :*
