Water drips down soft,
Musically falls in pools,
Just a short singing,
Moisten morning dry by noon,
Thirsty ground still goes wanting

What A joy! dear boy
A wonderful happening
I love when you write
Wonderful words of delight
Sunshine to lighten my night.

Where there is no rain
that is my home.....

Dryness is a way of life here, so this 'drink' was enjoyed.

Thank you, Silver Streak,
Pleased you enjoyed,
It’s been a while since I was referred to as boy,
So I’ll try to feel youthful, at least for the day.

Thank you, Zinsser,
Glad you liked.

Thank you, Mistletoe Angel,
Nature is easy to write about,
Where as a flood might wipe you out
So it wipes out everyone, there’s nothing personal.

Thank you, Poet deVine,
Dryness is getting to familiar here also,
Little rain, no snow.
Barely have enough to keep the dust down.
