Bitter Haikus

This land had been parched
and had so long awaited
for the rain to pour.

Its cracked surfaces
longed for a taste of raindrop.
So long ago dried.

It looked up above
to the high heavens and prayed
for rain to pour down.

And when the rain came
to quench this dry land's thirst,
it came quick then left.

Once parched, now it's mud
but will eventually dry
sooner or later.
