Susan Hawthorne #68 rainy season

rainy season is here
three months late

after the first rain
the garden smiled

but then the sun burned
and smiling plants died

the tree fern outside
my office has no green fronds

instead hanging brown
like unwashed hair

  1. Susan, what a drag....I can really feel what a bummer this is, especially in the last stanza.

  2. It's now pouring and the paper in my printer has gone all crinkly!! But the garden is chuckling again.
