Day after day
The sky is blue
No white clouds disturb it.
The only stains are the brownish ones
From the control burning fires
Don't bring rain
Only adding to worry
More so when surrounded
By dry litter forest!
The dam shrinks more everyday,
Temperature is on a steady thirties
April should see the first frost
Not roasting !
Computed data shows
Only a third of usual rain
In the first quarter of year to date.
The drought as climate change
It does not make news
Only cricket cheats appeal.
Back to the land
Roos herds are starting
To roam around green garden.
All around is brown
Nothing left to eat
Roo duty is on
From five to seven am.
Waiting for rain,
Weather apps are checked
Again and again
For a favourable forecast
None is found,
Waiting for rain.
