incredible rain: a pentaprismic suite
of floods and famines, flaws and fools
3. famines
inedible grain
gleaned from wild seeds of poison ivy fields
to none slightest gain
because its harvest-time brings useless yields
as cavalier lives
bent not by high ideals or gainful thrust
when crop time arrives
must be content to gather up the dust

Thanks, Ahavati; I believe I have responded in reverse order to your kind observations. I'm glad you like the series, which, now completed, has five episodes.
