Bursting Hopes

That thirsty day

A watery sphere

A tiny watery sphere

Dropped out of nowhere.

Brought hopes;

Hopes of golden paddy,

Hopes of lush greenery,

Hopes of blossoming cherry.

But alas

That sphere turned to be nothing

But an empty bubble,

Descended slowly open the soil

Burst in a second

Reeking nothing but a foul odor!
