Elsie at Ramblings of a Writer challenges us to write a poem using “water” and “thirst”. Mine is an “etheree” with ten lines, each of increasing syllables.
wet
when it
rains it pours
saturation,
precipitation,
weather aberration
water cannot drain away
groundwater rises, creek beds flood
farmers, crops and lawns thirst for sunshine
iowa’s summer uncommonly wet!
