Re: Form of the week: HexSonnetta

Thirst


The air was hot and dry,
no comfort nor relief
from growing disbelief.
Each of us wondered why
the heavens wouldn’t cry
to soothe both man and leaf.

The fragile ones went first
when rain would not fall down,
the earth all cracked and brown.
No way to quench a thirst
when thunder didn’t burst
the skies above our town.

When we were all deceased,
the rainstorms were released.
