Comment from C. Gale Burnett
An excellent composed 2-4-6-8. I planted grass late this spring and pray weekly for rain and even thunderstorms; makes no difference to me how the water comes.
Well chosen, strong adjectives and verb.

My grass is brown and I also pray for rain. Thanks for the review.

My pleasure.

This 2-4-6-8 poem, Drought, has the right setup and enters with the grim scene of the withering land, oppressed by heat, then saved by the life-giving rain. Nice.

Thanks for the comments.

You made good use of the 2-4-6-8 syllable count, and managed to fit quite a bit of information and description into just 20 syllables. By describing the vegetation as "thirsty," "brown" and "limp," you actually made the reader feel for the grass and plants, and root for the storm and rejuvenation to arrive. Nicely done.
