Thistles

dusty earth
drinks in the morning rain
payback in thistles

Hope of Rain

dark clouds drift eastward
carrying our hopes of rain
to cheer other folks

Dust Clouds

dust clouds on country roads
the faithful head to church
prayers for rain

River

who can believe
this river — a dried mud flat now
will rage come spring

Merciful

once more we see
our God is merciful
rain on parched fields

Rainwater

welcome rain water
soaks into the cracked earth
drowning the drought

One Last Croak

This post is for those who would prefer a pure limerick.
(Warning: facial tissues alert)

Alas, Poor Frog!

A pond frog stares up at the skies
nothing falls but dust in his eyes
the drought was historic;
the pond was rhetoric;
he gives one last croak and he dies

Capricious Clouds

Clouds float overhead
carry off our hopes of rain
cheering other folks
