Trifextra: Week Sixty
This weekend,Trifecta has this to say-
This weekend, we are revisiting a prompt we’ve done before. We are giving you three words and asking that you add another 33 to them to make a complete 36-word response. You may use the words in any order you choose.
Our three words are:
remember
rain
rebellion
Now you give us yours.
This weekend’s challenge is community-judged.
______________________________________________________________________
Memories
Parched soul,
cracks eclipse
shriveling ,drooping brown tips.
Impending doom everywhere
Cloudy skies dream!
A sign of rebellion.
Finally,down comes moisture
holding hearts in thrall…
Memories are strange-
Rain does not remember
What Drought cannot forget.
(36 words)

This reminds me so much of inner Australia and the drought our farmers have dealt with for years. This is superb ‘A’ so much in so few words.

Powerful and awesome. Great job!
