Prompt 81: Thirst


My Bellavia brings us this week's prompt, thirst. Thanks, Janice, for this, and thanks for the image and poem:


there's no moon, no stars
clouds invade such sultry nights
prayer is a light

crickets sing softly
metronomes of time are heard
street lights glow in heat

parched lives stare upward
flickered dreams do fade
somewhere it's raining
+ + + + + + + +

    I enjoyed your poem.
    It slowed my pace and made me pause to take it in. The first stanza really touched me. there's no moon, no stars
    clouds invade such sultry nights
    prayer is a light

    Janice, I think Tammie said it best. It must be terrible to live where rain is only a dream.
    Thanks for this nice prompt, I had a little rain in mine as well. Well, a lot of rain.
