With no knowledge of desert rains and their aftermath, I can visualise the devastation. Well chosen words and good complimentary picture. Faye

Thank you for your time reading and reviewing my poem.

I've never actually seen a desert storm but your words seem to describe what I have heard about them. The hard baked ground cannot absorb the onslaught of water so flash floods are very common.

Some written in this form have not impressed me.
Not so with yours.
Five lines were full of imagery!
Good free verse.
The five word maximum limitation for each line did not hinder your great expression.
Loved it.

A most frightening view to oversee when in the clutches of a horrific hurricane on its way.
rains rampage; ravaging roads--alliteration noted.

Love your picture and you sure nailed too much rain in the desert. I felt the rain, wind and watched the gully rusher. Blessings and good luck in the contest.

Comment from HAREEDS
A well composed short Gogyoshi poem on the violent affects of desert rain. When heavy rain comes on hard baked surfaces it ravages roads and gullys and causes flash floods. In very few words and lines you've managed to show the violence of a desert downpour. Good luck in the contest.

My nephew lives in Tucson and he and his daughter once got caught in a flash flood. This poem reminds of that. Good job with the prompt and I like the alliteration with words beginning with r.

It would have been more joyful and would have been truthful and more comprehensive if your last line was 'Flower Generator' but it is excellent as it is.

I love this one which depicts heavy rains in arid places not accustomed to heavy rainfall, which can cause much chaos, I love the accompanying photo, good entry in this gogyoshi contest. Well done, good luck, blessings, Roy.
