Raging Flood Waters

Raging flood waters, rush to the sea Grace the land renewed well watered Recede, recede leave bright flowers Rush to the sea, raging flood waters Is not the sky empty, pray tell All those waters the drought has quelled Blessings abundant rained plenty Pray tell, is not the sky empty The parched dry land, a land parched dry Needing blessings from the blue sky Just a touch from the master's hand A land parched dry, the parched dry land Still a work in progress

Sara, I wanted to check this out since I can't let myself see your entry to my contest until I am ready to judge. I wanted to see how you are doing with this form. the way you did the middle part, I really like. Your switched lines are very natural in the middle part. I think switching them naturally is one of the key components to doing the form well.

Sounds great so far Ruth. Spring could be a very tough season and add to that the melting snow . Good luck with it Sara.

I'll come back and see the finished work. One question: in your fourth line, did you really want to say "rush" in lieu of "rust"?
