      I just wrote this one; not super long at all, but interesting nonetheless. Don’t really care much for it. Critique or leave it all.

      Falling, endless, from the clouds

      Cool and wet, the raining swept

      Unto the land where in a daze

      The soil sang of waterways.

      A longing sprouted deep within

      And roots were buried far below;

      The surface, broken, cracked by heat

      And summer’s arid, heated, gaze.

      Down, down, down grew fertile growth

      With byways filled by deeper roots

      Where none would travel, deep was dark

      And naught there knew the piercing fall

      Of water’s anger felt by dawn

      When rays from morning sun then fell

      Upon the water’s falling strength

      Where sun did glint upon the sight

      And shine through waters, glowing bright.

      The ground was brought in desperate worth

      A coolness, through an Autumn rain

      No heat durst bleed unto the land

      That tortured, cracked in mighty bays.

      The water stayed for endless days

      Forever sent to dwell therein

      And quench the thirst once felt by land

      When clouds were kept in other lands.

       

      I have absolutely no idea whether or not this will post.

              *poem gets inspected by the rabbit*

              The bunny thinks you wrote a good poem.

              I think you wrote a good poem too.

              A wolf is a wolf,
              even in a cage,
              even dressed in silk.

                @millennium *thinks about petting the rabbit, but refrains; looks at chocolate covered hands with disgust*

                Gee, thanks, er…bunny!

                XD Thank you, too!
