Liquid Diamonds
Liquid diamonds falling down
Dancing through the air
Landing on our mother earth
God answered all our prayers
Last year our land was barren
So dry the earth did crack
And now rivulets are forming
There’ll be no looking back

(but in admission there is not 160 words & spaces in total but 215 ..
I tried very hard to reduce it but couldn't ... sorry~~!
Never the less, I did write it for the Sunday 160 so I thought I would still post it for that reason.
The Circle Is Unbroken.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I especially like the last two lines.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best poem so far!
ReplyDeleteBravo - I run into that all the time where I can't break it down any further
ReplyDeleteIt really is of great value isn't it - we have had drought for 5 or 6 years

ReplyDeleteYour poem tells the story and your photo backs it up so well ! And now I'm sure you're starting to pray for the opposite ;-)
