Our Drought
An Inspirational Cinquain
This is for Poppy's #10 Prompt and Mikeydred's Octoberon Challenge.
The human condition explains the questionable state of many things - climate change, war, and even ourselves.
We do create a drought, but whether the rain that follows is one of reckoning, or reprieve, is up to us.
Enjoy this cinquain.

Parched soil,
below dry skies,
hollers where rivers ran,
a thirst, empty, so relentless,
recalls.
Dry lips,
uttered of rain’s revenge,
but the sky scoffed, drained—
we grew Drought, then
Rain came.
