African Spring

African Spring  

The rain has settled
liquidy soil
ingested to wait
the blessing of Spring
nature renewed

mystical blooms
surround the veldt
in Africa
endeared by Sun

Clivia
yellow strength
likens Sun

waits for
its kin

Moon

Hi Rick: Hexaverse is not in the list. It won't accept any other theme. Any suggestions?
