Over
trunk hugged boulders
water swell spins bursting
raindrops reunited, released
in wind and storm to lakes and streams, their beds
once cracked dry, now an overflow.
So hard to fathom—all
this could soon be
over.
Both photos show the same creek. The top photo was taken this month (April) and the second one shows the creek dried up last August. The poem uses a form called “Rictameter”.

One extreme to the other. I hope this year there’s a middle ground.

A flowing poem in keeping with the subject. Great before and now images of the creek.

Thanks Denis. You may remember the dried up version from last summer except I changed the photo editing a bit.
