Notes About The Poem
Sometimes our lives or writing is like a desert then again it is like a plush stream...

Desert Becomes Water

.
                                                   Desert
                                     powdery             waterless
                                   withering   drying  unrefreshing
                                  aridness    thirst      rain    spring
                                  living         bubbling     refreshing
                                          deep             well
                                                   water

I like the way this goes from dry to wet Sara. I looked at the form and then decided it was to much thinking at the moment. Ryan has his nose surgery today so did not sleep last night. He is a heavy smoker and also asthmatic and tons of allergies. love phyl

Very nice Diamante, I thought it to be very effective in conveying just what you wanted to say! Starts off perfectly heading towards that coveted water and finally sees this water! It got what it wanted! Great work!!
