Poem Artwork

One careless action, one
wayward spark and poof, the
grass goes up in flame, the
sky fills with smoke, the sun

becomes a ball of blood.
Texas is burning, once
again - drought conditions.
Need rain - who would think we'd

be saying that after
the soaking we got last
summer?  A new mantra
needed:  let's meditate

on wet.  Need the rain, need
the rain, need the rain - none
in the forecast until
maybe Sunday.  All they

can say until then is
dry and wind, just what we
don't want to hear:  repeat:
need the rain, need the rain .....

Your neighbor, New Mexico, we have the same problems with drought and fires. I'm with you - need the rain; need the rain.

God bless you. Kathy

In Sweden's Goteborg is raining with a force 36 meters per second winds, no fires there, and watch for what you wish...
Be safe and don't play with matches.

There is not force greater than nature. Unfortunately, we haven't any control over her. Here's a wish for rain though anyway -- hey it can't hurt to wish. ~ Sara

i can't even wrap myself around this--we are still knee deep in snow, slush and rain!

Karla~

Never satisfied! Gripe about the rain, the drought, the wind, the storms, the heat, the cold...gripe, gripe, gripe, gripe, GRIPE!! LOL

Seriously, though, we do need rain; those fires scare me! Only problem is, it rains two ways here: all at once, or none at all!

Very well penned frustration here, Storm; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, the Tornado. :)
