August

Apomasu, the stream snaking
Under the forest drinks enough rains 
Grasses flaunt their greenest gowns to 
Ungulates who were 
Starving at the dry banquets of 
The previous months

Birth date: August 8

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

But Ghana, where I write from, is a bit different... Here the weather gets cooler but still the rains cease not filling drains. Vegetation stays green A milion thanks for stopping by. . .
