Your use of personification will draw the reader in. You've used some nice onomatopoetic words and alliterative words with s's & sh's. The p's and b's create a powerful effect. "Of poor beaten earth" &
"Black crows" & many others, but this is enough

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Some countries suffer from droughts that cause damage destroy lives, you used all the required words for the contest here and built a pome around them as you brought hope to those doubtful days of drought, love Dolly x

Comment from royowen
I wrote a poem, and the funny thing is we tend to remember odd things, I wrote a line, "the grain will grow again, and that's true. We had a multi year drought in the eastern states, but it broke with a vengeance, but the suffering was terrible! A beautifully written poem centring on this terrible affliction and relief, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from harmony13
The author's words are interesting, clear, descriptive and creative.
I liked how this author gave hope throughout each stanza. The
poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and
compliments this poem well.

Comment from RodG
A fine job of using the required words to tell a tale of a farmer hoping for rain during a drought. I especially like the simile in lines 1-2 and your use of personification in the last stanza. You do make this reader appreciate the rain. Rod

Comment from Pantygynt
This is a fine example of free verse that demonstrates a good feeling for occasional rhyme, assonance and consonance, as well as alliteration and general euphony.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Drought-breaking Rains, contains the required words and fully expounds on the sensations which are experienced when a touch of life falls from the sky and encourages exploding growth. Neat.

Two poems in a row about drought, wow! Most of the Western US has been in drought conditions for a while. What a wonderfully written poem.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Thank you very much. A very nice review. (Two poems on drought: It must be because of needing to use five words including "rain" and "earth".)
Comment from Fleedleflump
You've made me want a drink! A beautifully expressed piece exploring the need for water in order for anything to live. Love the personification throughout, but particularly the earth's cracked lips. Nicely done.
