At last the rain drenches the dusty land <br />Turning this parched land into a lake of dreams <br />Again the great rivers flow <br />Soon green will replace the brown <br /> <br />Though the drenching was a little fast <br />The rivers burst through the sides <br />Floods now replace the dry landscape <br />Now the land is drowned <br /> <br />Extremes are but a part of this land down under <br />For many years the land stressed from lack of rain <br />Now an overabundance falls in a day <br />Nature can be cruel in so many ways. <br /> <br />But still in the winter we can have some fun <br />For this year at least the snows have come. <br />Again we will enjoy the cold <br />Huddle close about the fire <br /> <br />For again the wet season has come <br />And the brown lands will again be green <br />Children will again feel the drops <br />And play in the puddles with glee.<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wet-season-has-come/
