In early springtime they were green and lush, Left to one color when the crocus died, I seldom stopped to notice in my rush, Now they’ve turned to brown as with drought they’ve dried. The blue heavens make the white clouds drift by Never stopping to give grasses a cry. Gloom |

but then again? a summer's dew can make it all appear as new-- Mother knew-- in all her wise to cover seed in glisten's sigh... Father knew to plant life deep-- beneath a melting snow in weep both--together as above-- below? there lies the treasure trove.  |

Thank you, Zinsser, where has gone the rain that once fell on the plain with dark blotches stain the dust the rain that falls not the greening forgot for moisture unbrought is trust that hot sun beaming turns water streaming and the grasses greening it must. Thank you, Serenity Blaze, What summer dew, Not enough to bring back the green, A drop or two, The thirsty blade do scream, Give us rain, give us rain, Gloom |

Professor Gloom Who knows when the rain will come? And when it does, what the outcome? Lovely write. |

tears like rain come and go with no reasons to explain but both have a healing to sustain |

Roll on Unleashed by storm in liquid form the molecules descend Whereby they fall through dusty pall to drought they may amend Then join in flow as rivers grow and off to oceans wend There rise once more roll on in store so clouds again will rend |
