Country Water, City Water

Country Water, City Water

The “chick-chick-chick” of the sprinkler
Announces the season of watering
Sun-dried earth.

The “chuck-chuck-chuck” of the circle system
Works its way around
The verdant field of alfalfa.

The “KOOSH-KOOSH” of the water canon
Sends streams flying.
Rainbows are born
In its arc.

But city yards are dainty,
The watering done delicately.
Silently the plastic heads rise to the occasion,
Emitting mists of moisture
“shhhhh…”
