RAIN PAINTING THE DESERT

Waiting hour after hour

Waiting for that summer shower

Waiting for water to help the desert flower

All year some wait

To see their fate

Hoping it will come

For all the flowers need some

They need it to soak the dry sand

To fill the demand

Likes it’s nature’s plan

And it finally does arrive

Making the dessert come alive

And they stand like so many beautiful towers

As far as the eye can see are those magnificent flowers

THE POUNDING WAVES

Here comes a storm

Off the coast trying to form

Big waves are coming

Pounding surf a drumming

Waves not retreatin

House being eaten

Larger and larger they come

Home owners mind’s are numb

House completely gone

The last one was that strong

Waves have a big appetite

Eating houses, from the left and the right

No relief in sight

Politicians not understanding our plight
