How fragile the young and twisting green
For lack of rain a sight most seen
Brown beneath the withered trees
Sick and fraught with drought’s disease

Lazy haze of summer long
Crunch and snap the season’s song
Alas, the moor ‘tis nearly gone
Those eager await the dew at dawn

Time sullen until the day did come
Brisk breeze bade the fragile boughs hum
Hark! ‘ Tis blessed rain in the sky!
Alluring, now the time is nigh

Crisp and fresh the coming air
All creatures ready and prepare
Storms drawing near to liberate
Those succumbing to El Nino’s fate

   I sure like this one!

Very nicely penned. Rain is needed to recharge those aquifers. Keep up the good work, it may help others to see the urgent need to preserve the wetlands and nature's bounty. I love nature poetry.
Your muse is a friendly one

Lady Sofia, I don't believe I've read you before, this is my kind of poetry, well actually all poetry is, but I mean this is the style that truly touches me deep down.
I hope you have a ton more

My humbled thanks to all but, thanks to the new smilies I can finally convey to Passions my deepest seat...  

All of you, unknowingly, are such inspirations in your jubilation, and also in your release of it, straight from your hearts, minds and souls, trembling through your fingers down to quill-in-hand. There isn't much I can say other than that! I tip my cup to you!
