You Plant Without Water

The summer of sanctity
The clouded sky soaks up the crave
Shaken throughout this desolate land
Drought stricken and devoid of spring

The time has salivated upon the city
And tempered his blind wave
Tuning your instruments with a soldiered hand
Your ticking orange sand ringing

You are seeding humanity -
Feigning solitary movements to heaven's canopy.

    Bravo!

    Dear Anthony, I do not always look at the images in these poetry contests...I am so glad I did this time. You capture Dali! Hard to do! 'Feigning solitary movements to heaven's canopy' Oh yes, indeed! Brilliant!Dali would recite this one himself and proudly! Jane

    This is truly evocative...jsut a ocuple of spots stumped me

    soaks up the craven? craved....Crave
    drought-stricken?

    the time has alivated... Time has salivated?

    his blind wave how about tempered blind wave, to elave it open for the reader for "his" makes it specific?
