A Wish For Rain Poem by Barry Middleton
A Wish For Rain
I hear the rumble of thunder
and I wish it would rain
rain brings life and hope
the grass needs green relief
desiccated flowers wait
for a gift from above
the earth's tears are spent
the flesh is burned
grief is everywhere
in a cloud of toxic dust
humanity cries out
demanding redemption
summer lingered too long
and I wish it would rain
A lovely write...sometimes I imagine I can hear the plants sup up the rain.... Annette

I do like to keep it pretty simple usually.
