drought (haiku)





desiccated land

with weathered wrinkles creased

embraces rain

    Very nicely done.
    I could see the rain begin
    and the earth gasping at every drop.
    Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest.

    Oh wow this one was awesome.. it just made me immediately picture some kind of dried out barren wasteland. I like this one a lot, and I think the last line fits perfectly.
    Good luck in the contest! And thanks for the comments on my haikus as well

    I am in a haiku mood right now and this one is great!

    It even makes me feel thirsty, well done.

    a great little haiku,
    gave a stunning picture and left no doubt in my mind of what you were describing,
    it takes talent to write a haiku like that
    take care
