Drought
Plantation season has
left the garden
Harvesting wind has
started to besiege
With its radius
reducing
Every second;
There is no cloud
flying
To let the flowers
On the earth dance
But the hardworking
farmers keep working
Plowing the
field, sowing the seeds
Eventually,
Their sweats turn
into rain
And lo! Their pains
no longer remain.
