Yesterday I was in the parched, red desert, where it pours only seldom, Bearing joy for varicolored cacti blooms, a silvery shower, very welcome. This morning I deluged the green, pathless forest, at the dawn of purple. Tomorrow, wet footsteps will travel, down the tree-lined street of myrtle. In wild days of ago, my fervor caused floods, as I danced in dewberries; Then a soft, yellow sun spun rich gold, making cherries and cranberries! While there is gladness everywhere I go, my sporadic errors humble me, Like an errant wind which blows off course, tenacious, golden honeybee!

You do poetic impersonations so well it just stands to reason you would do personification justice as well. This is awesome Evelyn

Interesting way to encourage us to think more on looking for silver linings and the ebbs and flows of life on planet earth. Also the saying 'You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs springs to mind'. Your versatility as a poet shines here. Best regards David in NZ

Rain is essential. Occasionally we need more of it. Others like cacti, need very little. Loved your contrast.

The tender notes of nature brought nostalgic feelings to my mind. Like the wind, I too like to travel, so maybe we're sisters. I send hugs.
