Notes About The Poem
Just having a dry spell and some thoughts from out on the porch..Sara

Bone-Dry

The well that once had a spring is bone-dry
Rain torrential flow_water the cracked clay
Let the well fill with fresh water mile high
Then spring that comes forth will be gold assay

Just jewels of love will be given by muse
Jewels like Lovers' Knot crown royal
Help me to not in anyway gift misuse
Fill the well full with love above all

Muse visit me today as the bees hum
Visiting the Holly, Pear, Oak enjoy
The nectar of flowers to feed upon 
As lazily cotton puff clouds float with joy

Swiftly hand did pen twelve lines of beauty
Love flows, thoughts flow sharing spring joy duty

You bring to mind that water is the gift to life. Terrible to be without it. Nice one 'sara.

There is a well of love in this poem, Sara. Like the way you just can't get enough spring time in this piece. It overflows - that's not a criticism. Love, daver
