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 Kathleen (Kay) |

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! ^_^ LadySofia "The smallest feline is a masterpiece." |
