Special Queensland Edition of Three Word Wednesday

Today's words for Three Word Wednesday are: harmless, moist, yelp

A harmless bit of rain,
Repeated again and again,
From "moist" to "deluge"
With no safe refuge,
They yelp at a life down the drain.

Dear readers, writers, bloggers, poets and editors: Queensland needs your help. Here's how you can participate.

I realize the folks being driven from their homes, watching the waters kill, destroy property and livelihoods, are doing a lot more than "yelping", but I work with what I'm given.

    Yes, great job - so true that many things falling over and over again become so destructive...Jae

    The scenes of destruction are terrible. Water is vicious stuff.
