Matthew Mckeown Mar 2018
Six months of unberable heat
and dry stubble have taken its toll,
The weak have perished,
strong survived and
heards have been culled

Wildlife in the throngs of death,
in anticipation of the forth coming rain,
huddle under dreary trees-
that loom above the coarse harsh terrain,

Clouds wildly swoop in to cover the bright sky-
frantically diminishing the presence
of the scorching sun's rise

Clouds pregnant with hope burst open
to the rumble of thunder,
Lightning dominating, illuminating
announcing the birth of new born water

The Savanna is in finally in her high season...
Brandon Shane Jan 2017
Don't be upset I didn't
                            wave back
  when you saw
                                                         me today.

          For I no longer see faces
                    only shadows-
                                               indistingiushable
                                               ­   from eachother.

          Drifting
    through melancholy days
                                        enduring
        unb­erable conversations
                with empty faces.

                                    Four years ago
was the last time
             I even saw my own...

                             Amazing how
            when you're no longer
                      met
                                ­           with your own
                            reflection,
            
        ­    You begin to foregt
                        who you are.
