Alone, dead, in the desert today,
and tomorrow, no matter how long there is no sorrow.
There is no green grass;
there
is no rain, no never, for if rain be there then hope sprouts out fast.
Covers the whole desert in bushy lush grass.

but what happens when there is no seed to give?
All ends the same, they are but new beginnings.
For those who disagree,

This course has me torn between traditional poetry and new technologically advanced forms of poetry, such as Christian Bok's work.
Great job!
