stuck weather pattern only brings more rain
while farmers ripe to harvest feel the strain
soybeans swell fat, cornstalks rot wet
without a crop, families grow debt
we hope and pray for sun to shine again!
(oh no, could that be snow?!)
Linking to dVerse poets’ pub where Frank is toasting iambic pentameter…
