Summer Burn

Grass burned crisp, sun kills
   Summer's throat parched and arid-
      Clouds threaten to burst!

A. Green
* Thankful the rain has finally come
to feed the green again.

Reminds me of the threatening rain clouds drifting over the Southern Pass of El Paso, so full of rain, but just drifts on by guess to Oklahoma or kansas. Nice haiku.
