Clouds like fat sponges
Hiding sun, promising rain
Usher in new life



For Raul's picture contest

I can see the imagery in this quite clearly. The sponge will have to get a squeeze one day and the water will flow out and down. I am waiting for a good shower of rain. Great job! ~Joseph

What a insightful perspective captured in just three lines. Nice use of personification. Keep on writing! Karen
