Melting in the moonlight
she gazed into her reflection,
corroded with imperfection
that blasted curse of age,
Tracing her stale wrinkles
those cracks in the earth,
nestled in the mud
soaked in her tears,
-----
The morning light shone
burning the barren earth,
mother lay there, all alone
not a word she spoke,
They carried her away
to the grave on the hill.
no life she had within...
but, mother saved the drought.

Hi 
I chose the prompt: Puddles
I am very eager for feedback.. my poetry is rather shabby...
Anyways.. I put a lot of metaphor in here.. so if anyone is having confusion just ask and i'll explain
