Notes About The Poem

When Dewdrops Don'T Come

In early morn, no dewdrops adorn
Lacy fern-leaf fennel
We're in a drought, and raindrops I mourn
As miraculously is born 
A Fuchsia zinnia one sweet morn
Through a crack, so gentle

How can it survive and seem to thrive?
With limited water  
No dew adorns, sun arrives
Temperatures way past ninety-five
It seems Satan has a plan contrived 
To make earth dry, hotter 

We'd prefer dewdrops 'pon roses
Cool gardens with basil
Those fragrances that tickle noses
Fills the eyes, which none opposes
Butterflies 'pon lily poses
Dewdrops reflect, dazzle!

Beryl Edmonds June 25, 2022 at 7:56 AM Beautifully you have described a parched garden lacking dewdrops and water in the baking heat. An excellent write Sara well done… Belle Sara Kendrick June 25, 2022 at 9:30 AM Thank you, Belle. I appreciate the kind review. Sara

Kim Rodrigues June 23, 2022 at 10:13 AM A wonderful write! Love the imagery! Just like me, your hating the too hot days! Sara Kendrick June 23, 2022 at 3:15 PM Thank you, Kim. Yes, this early heat plus we have not had rain to amount to much in several months. We had a couple of showers but not near enough to make up for what we had not had. My husband is watering the garden to keep the plants alive and maybe get a little food from all the money invested in the plants, seeds, fertilizer and time. I appreciate the time spent here reading and taking time to comment. Sara

Sotto Poet June 22, 2022 at 6:31 AM Sarra, your poem is a wonderful illustration of the dews phenomenon. The day was filled with beautiful sights from nature. How rapidly does nature manage to transform her appearance? I wish you the best of luck in the contest. And thanks for your comment on my page Sara Kendrick June 22, 2022 at 6:47 AM Thank you, Sotto, for dropping by. I appreciate the time spent here. We still are dry where I live, and it will be hot again today, but the humidity is not bad again today which makes it more comfortable. Starting tomorrow the humidity is supposed to go up and also the temperature which will be much more uncomfortable. I hope for rain. Sara
