Out of Water

Out Of Water Eternal suffering Fresh cleansing rain, regain Harmonic smells so wonderful, restores impressions in your mind of ocean shores Rainbows of prism refracting, colors that are spellbinding red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo, violet mixtures mystifier of lights and shadows aver Cleansing the air, beautify and reign over azure suggestive buttermilk sky Green crisp canopies of forest trees Tall, lush emerald green grass that sway in the breeze coverlets of ferns, climbing vines embroidered through trees and stray flowering plants that grants a playground for musical birds that perch or fly to the skies, enchanting dance of the butterflies, and an orchestra of the wild, a spiritual wonder all thirst for shelter and pure clean water Glacier’s abundance surplus Beautiful lustrate waterfalls so gracious Running water through rocks and sand, adding to erosion of filtrating The voice of the future echoes a plea An epiphany Purge memories shall come to cease Dearth of rain Yearning thirst will attain Drought, dehydration, famine, poverty, sickness, anguish wildlife perishes Eternal suffering and losses The future beseeches 2/17/2015 Contest: Out of Water Sponsor: Sheri Fresonke Harper

Back again Eve, this time with some more comments:) Your abundant imagery appeals to the senses. The benefits of water are much in evidence, so are the negative prospects that can haunt humanity were we to be short of it. Congrats on a lovely win. // paul

Paradise and paradise lost! Reading your poem up to the middle I saw creation as ought to and after as we have made it to look after our intervention which proves the wisdom of God and the foolishness of Man, dear Eve! Extraordinary and vibrant images that captivates the soul of the reader! A seven! Good luck! God bless you!

Thank you, Demetrios, for your wonderful words of encouragement. I have moved to an area that they have done so much damage to the environment. Building bigger and more expensive homes and malls. And the poor animals are lost and our wonderful clean air taken away. It saddens me to think that money is more important than our environment.

This is what a study ,Climate Scientists Predict Decade Long Droughts For Much of America. The study puts the chances of a megadrought in the central plains and southwest sometime between 2050-2099 at above 80%. This is something to start thinking about. Thank you for the 7 and compliment, dear friend
