Rain Awaited (Achievement #5 = 2 Points + 2 bonus points)

Bright blue, sunny sky

Nary a cloud to be seen—

Dusty and parched earth.

Dusty and parched earth

Heat rising from empty roads—

Wind howling through trees.

Wind howling through trees

Leaves flail in summer's glory—

Eager for relief.

Eager for relief

All eyes on the horizon—

Hoping for dark clouds.

Hoping for dark clouds

And onslaught of the monsoon—

The scent of wet earth.

The scent of wet earth

Nature bursts in verdant life—

Mud puddles abound.

Mud puddles abound

Incessant rains make me long—

Bright blue, sunny sky.
