Worcester, where what was
worse, was when wasted water
weighted wet waiters.

Ha! Love it, Missy!!

Pressure in the pipe

Bubbling upward from rupture

Better than sinkhole

"Water seeps upward?"

asked the frustrated flower.

Gravity thwarted.

In reply to Excellent, Janicket!!

Meanwhile, a pipe breaks

Deep underground, under pavement

Water seeps upward

Seeps through pavement cracks

Runs uselessly down the drive

Waste water wasted.

Backhoe breaks pavement

Digs deep, hauls forth muddy spoils

They find the problem.

Fixed. Reburied. Now

Adjoining residences

Can have water again.

Run it for a while

We're told, to clear sediment.

Waste water wasted.

Excellent, Janicket!!

In reply to Good one, Janicket!!

Rain yesterday. But

Sunshine today. More sunshine

Forecast, and forecast....

The Ipswich River

Already stressed many years

Sinks ever lower.

The parched earth suffers

In sad dust-choked gullies that

Should be flowing now.

Good one, Janicket!!

In reply to Rain on long-parched ground

Good one, Janicket!!

Rain on long-parched ground
the desperate earth absorbs
the precious liquid

Each descending drop,
restores a little more hope
our drought is over.

Rain on long-parched ground

Rain on long-parched ground

Soaking; not pounding, then gone.

Not enough; but some....
