 Photographer: Walter Feller Mojave’s Renewal ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ Thunder was booming in the Prussian empyrean, Reverberating across the scorched plains, ~ That patiently awaited the onslaught of waters, And the refreshing, cool taste of fall rains. A blustering gale blew in from the west, ~ Whipping sands into the dark swirling sky. Creatures sought refuge from the impending storm, As they scurried across desert ~ bone dry. The skies opened up and a deluge poured down, With the land drinking deep from the run. Apaches would plume ~ as yuccas did bloom, ~ For the Mojave’s renewal had begun. . |

Roniece, so nice to hear from you! I was just thinking how wonderful it is that this poetry site brings people together from all over the world. My first two replies are from Australia and South Africa ~ and I live in Canada. Yet I feel as though the miles disappear and we are neighbours! Howdy, neighbour! ~ and friend!  Thank you for reading and replying! Love to you! Linda  |

Bunches of Honey ~ I do so enjoy a good thunderstorm! ~ Note I said "good"! ~ the ones that revitalize! Some thunderstorms can wreak a great deal of damage. I hope the ones that you are experiencing are of the latter! Loving hug, Linda |

Linda...As always I am left with a smile and a memory from your amazing poetry. I wish the rains we have been getting today in South Louisiana would go out West and put out the fires that are causing so must destruction as I am writing this...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

Paul ~ That was very sweet of you to say. Thank you! ~ and yes, perhaps Louisiana could send some of its rain out west where it is desperately needed. In fact, as I am writing this reply, I am watching coverage of the raging infernos on Larry King Live. How absolutely dreadful!!! Linda |

Bunches of Honey ~ My original response to you was "I do so enjoy a good thunderstorm! ~ Note I said "good"! ~ the ones that revitalize! Some thunderstorms can wreak a great deal of damage. I hope the ones that you are experiencing are of the latter!" Ooops! I meant to say that I hope the ones that you are experiencing are of the GGOOD variety! Love to you, Honey! Linda |
