Let It Rain

What a long hot year here,
the cactus are wilting.
Cement is getting soft,
birds in the trees are cooked.
Long hot days with hot nights,
must stop for everyone.
Let It Rain-cool rain now.

It is dry here too, but your poem shows how much rain is needed there. Well done Paula. Hopefully, there will be some soon :)
