Living in CA I can relate to drought conditions. Your last line speaks volumes...brown is even the new green. I like your color choices for text and background. Good luck on the contest.

Well, sad to say many out west here in the United States are faced with this harsh reality every day.

-Good consonance of "s" in your second line
-syllable count is right on
-good imagery created overall on a hot topic

Good luck to you in the contest.

I've seen similar images of former river beds. Your words very effectively describe this phenomena.

Your line count and syllable count are accurate.

Your description reminds me of our four-year drought in California. I admired your use of personification, alliteration and equating "golden" to "green". Best wishes in the Nature 5-7-5 contest- Joan, from the fjords of Norway

This meets the contest requirements beautifully with a correct line and syllable count. The imagery in the first two lines is vivid and the satori delivers a stunning observation. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

The deserts and we need that cool rain and luscious blue sea. I hope golden is not the new green. We need our greens to help plants and animals flourish. Good luck in the contest.

A descriptive piece of verse. The illustration is particularl good. I like the last line -golden is the new green. A well written and descriptive piece.

Makes me thirsty just looking at it. Made me think of the young poet who writes about Austrian desert survival. Good entry. Good luck
