Water Butt Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Water Butt

Rating: 5.0


Rainfall! Please do not stop your function in the off-seasons
As she catches rainwater to her rusty barrel for her living.
The half of her life without a partner she pussyfoot with the old tire cart
Along the thorn avenues; Not the flower roads.
Yes still she is beautiful & fertile
And there should be a windfall.
If a soft heart soul could join her in a drought
And push the cart well with the offspring?

* [ A dumb voter writes on his ballot; Warmongers! Please do not pollute the serene sky and let the rain falls on its freer style.]

You continue to see the beauty in the humble and the dispossessed. May the rain of your words continue to fall and may your heroine find a companion to share her weary struggle. Your poetry is unique and recognizable Nimal. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
