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.
