Yeah Write #6: How The Rains Came (A Tritina)
YeahWrite.Me tritina with the theme “myths”
How Rains Came
Once afar, in a land away, cattle
lowed and grunted and bellowed deep in a Summer
haze that caused the plains to weep.
O how the sky refused to weep
upon the parched, brown land — drying the cattle
in the long, endlessness of Summer.
The herder girl despaired all that thirsty Summer,
until the day when she sat to weep
a thousand days for the brittle earth and dying cattle.
Long grew the grass and plump grew the cattle in the fat rains of Summer from a girl’s undying weep.

I like the way you combined the theme and form. I could picture the poor, skinny, thirsty cows.

A drought described as the sky refusing to weep- that’s an interesting idea. And you nailed the myth form, that’s a beautiful reason for the prairies.
