Elaine Gonzales Poet Personification

Rice Field

Under the scorching sun I thirst for rain 
As the summer heat cracks open my skin
For that scarce water I waited in vain
Leaving me too weak and dried up within

Gone is my greenery without monsoon
As the long dry season makes me too gloom
How I yearn for the rain to come out soon
To give source of life to my dying womb
