Broken......Ground



desert painted red-orange
melted rocks in hot sun
burnt earths broken ground
writes in the sand it's thirst

BTW, Mr. Linky sent me to the broken blog. Of course I found you here. You might want to retell him.

Penetrating images; I can feel the heat and taste the thirst.

This is amazingly unique! The images is perfect -- as I have often wondered at the dry broken earth --- I found the craters inviting, a place to hide. But it was always a wonder to see what happen when the rain came ...

You captured the desert here. Excellent.
Now I need a drink of water.

I love how you gave a voice to the desert as you revealed the thirst and quenching found there.
