dry leaves curled under
nature turns brown and lifeless
earth cries out for relief
P.R.Deremer
a pernicious spell
of blistering dry weather
food prices soaring
written July 27, 2021
Shred kneels over the thorn soil
well detrimental with retarded thought
life has no detail
but to copy nature like drought.
Sink or swim
Sually; summoned snakes shake
The seen shark under the sea
Same wet that dry the floods to cover the droughts.
I never wanted it to happen,
I allowed loves seed to sow,
So here we're in the garden,
But there's a drought to stop the growth.
drought leaves leaves crisp, fairytale floating,
arresting their sizes and shapes
Flour and oil are running out
So are bread and butter
It’s been one pestilence of drought
Which causes wizened grass to flutter.
storm clouds threaten rain
breeze moves them swiftly southward
drought unabated
written June 18, 2021
rivers stay silent
happy to hum to themselves
until a rage spills
in torrents, cascades and falls
only quelled in spells of drought
Bottoms out topped off a jar full of water in the heat in the desert dry unlike a cactus

Rain removes the difficulty of the drought earth
it's the grievance epic of the blue sky at birth

the pristine forest -
still untouched by man or drought
or fire or blight
haven for all fowl and beast -
pristine forest where art thou?
Into the mouth
Out of the drought
None the worse
And none defiled
Out of the heart
With body parts
Come acts perverse
And all that's vile
mind's suffocation
midst of hearts' intervention
in drought thirsty dies
The summer solstice
in years past so much welcomed...
now there's foreboding:
soaring temps, wildfires, drought...
idyllic days are numbered.
When the storm is out
And the rain has stopped
Deluging my drought,
I find my weights dropped
I have been clean washed.
2nd April 2023
it was just a speck of dust
in her eyes
that made her visualize
a desert of drought
which required
her tears
12th August 2021
A hold
Unknown
Seasons trials
Walking the miles
Been a while.
Waiting periods
Test of Faith
Jesus is present
With his Mercy and Grace.
Awake with doubt
no food to eat
tasty with drought
no place to sit
naked i rise
rooming around my body
are seasonal flies
cursing at nobody
Form:
when there was a drought
we raindanced across the lawn
splashing through sprinklers

Received 4th place in "Best Rain Poem" contest
Wet dry daffodils
Deeply rooted in water
Sunken by full drought
(This is my first attempt at Haiku, I hope you like it)
drought
barren, cracked
worrying, dying, starving
farmland, weeds, water, mud
flowing, attacking, drowning
soaked, ruined
flood
Sheets of clouds
Unaffected
By gusts of wind
Nice steady rain
To end the drought

The tropical flower,
drought wild flower
fruit of the miracle
of the encounter,
between the hot dust
and the sparse rain... !
Wake the embers that smolder inside
Up above the coldness of my doubt
My burning desire will serve as guide
Heart aflame with passion ends loves drought
