Marina Owens published a poem as part of the POPO 2026 writing challenge, marking day 29 with a short postcard-style verse. The poem lists signs of drought and heat — skinny tomatoes, wrinkled carrots, thirsty toads, browning grass and restless dust — while reticent clouds withhold rain. Readers are sharing the piece for its compact, evocative portrait of a prolonged dry spell.
Why now: The poem resonates with people currently experiencing hot, dry weather and drought conditions.
