No Sign of Rain

The sky offered no sign of rain No pitter patter songs were heard It seemed flowers would wait in vain The sky offered no sign of rain There was just a dusty refrain No nimbostratus were stirred The sky offered no sign of rain No pitter patter songs were heard 5-22-2024

Your triolet is very imaginative. We need rain, alas.

Hello Joseph, Your poem is hauntingly beautiful. The imagery of a parched landscape waiting in vain is so evocative. Your words capture the essence of longing and the stillness of unmet expectations. It's a powerful piece that is deeply felt. —your work is truly inspiring. - Blessings, Daniel
