Dried Dreams

Dried Dreams Light dawning, parched, sleeping fields awakening to dewy kiss Thirsting roots await droplets of precious life from funnel leaves Crisped edges, singed by season’s drought, bathe in lover’s sweet relief John G. Lawless 6/19/2014 for Debbie Guzzi SIHO strings contest

Elaine, Thank you for reading and commenting. I find a sensuality, a lustiness, in nature that commands expression on the paper.

Casarah, I like to think of poetry as a visual art, a "paint by letter" set. Thanks for your continued support
