Though your poem personifies a flower's request for physical rain, to me it could also be a person asking for spiritual rain. Truly a multilayered meaning. Thank you for sharing it.

AAAWWW you gave this little one a voice and it is very well done. Reminds me of the days I feel a little stupid when I water my plants and purposely look for the ones that need the extra kind word .

Very creative, to write from the perspective of the flower! Just a lovely little piece of Sally's creativity shining through yet again! Wonderful! I should jump in on some of these little bits, but time is not allowing it. THIS is fantastic! Need I say more? :)

We complain about the rain but it is a source of nourishment for the flowers and plants that would die without it, I enjoyed the gentle delivery of your words here Sally, love Dolly x

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for being my inspiration in this. How could I not think about you when I did a flash fiction in the voice of a flower? Sending you my best today as always,

I enjoyed your speaking in the voice of the yearning, thirsty flower. We actually had more rain in March and April than usual, which is leading to more wildflowers. Best wishes in the Flash Fiction contest- Joan

A very nice poem to read about the flower wanting water. You did an excellent job and I couldn't see anything to make a recommendation about. Take care and stay well. Shirley

This is delightful, my friend. It would be wise advice for those out hoarding toilet paper etc--'I didn't need much... just enough for today'. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie
