Lifes Water

Life's Water Midst the scorching heat of the sun Lots of day’s work, still left undone Profuse sweating never consoles Life’s water, hear my urgent call My throat has sore at drying up Seems bringing me a big mishap I need you badly fresh and cool Life’s water, hear my urgent call My plants are dying, less flowers Dried leaves on the ground are towers I’m so desperate like a fool Life’s water, hear my urgent call My life too - seems drained and empty Nourishment I then asked to Thee God has cleaned and quenched my parched soul Life’s water heard my urgent call Aug 6, 2022 9.28 am PS Syllable Counter Syllables Per Line: 8 8 8 8 0 8 8 8 8 0 8 8 8 8 0 8 8 8 8 0 8 8 8 8 Total # Syllables: 160 Note: So hot here in my place.

Kyrielle, never heard of this. You've educated me in this lovely poem.

This is the second Kyrielle I wrote since I joined PS my dear friend Barbara. It's hard but PS is teaching me until now how to write special types of poems. Before, I've joined PS, I was only writing things that popped up my head or felt deep in my heart without limit of words/meter. Thanks to PS and all of you who are lovingly sharing ideas and good examples. Thanks also to the frequent hosts of contests encouraging us to write more. Thanks a lot my dear friend for stopping by and your kind words. May I visit your page again soon? Ty in advance. God bless you always. Hugs

It is not that easy to write a poem satisfying all the stipulations of writing a Kyrielle. But You have done it with remarkable ease . All the best in the contest, Len !
