Laura Leiser Poet Tanka

Hope In the Desert

Desert thunderheads
                                 clap loudly over the plains
                                  giving parched lands hope
                             watching skies from red rock cave
                                ancient chief sighs with relief

Emile Pinet March 12, 2015 at 4:02 PM The simplest words can carry the most weight when you make the reader feel them as well as hear them, and you do it so well. Emile. Laura Leiser March 12, 2015 at 4:24 PM Thanks, Emile :) I feel the same way about your poetry as well!
