John Marsden Writing Topic #319

Take one interesting word and write a poem that describes it.**

Drought

Dehydration can lead to unwanted death.

Rainless days lead to restrictions to hand-wash necessities to life.

Over long periods of no rain, the crops will droop, and we will have to start sacrificing.

Unexpected fires, withered and wounded souls forever.

Ground sunburnt, no water to get for help.

Heat rising up, no rain to help us, no way to live.

Time is ticking, we need some rain but will there be any?
