Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Heavenly Tears

Dark clouds gathered in the west
the wind whipped and  howled
the sky shed thousands of tears
as hunger crouched on the ground below
 crying continued though out the afternoon
as the hungry bowls were fed
moist wet tears slowly subsided 
only to come rushing back again
these tears from the heaven
eventually ceased
satisfying the thirst of the land.

Sunlite Wanter May 24, 2017 at 6:35 PM It seems we're always needing "tears" on our land, but I all too well know about those black clouds in the west. Lovely poem, Phyllis. Phyllis Babcock June 15, 2017 at 7:05 PM Thanks you for your comment. I am a little late in my replies. love phyl
