Your twenty-line poem is skillfully-written, appealing, and vividly descriptive of the workings of the farm and the effects of the much-welcomed rain. I especially like the simile in stanza 1. :-)

I really enjoyed this! Nice rhythm and flow and great meter throughout. I wonder is this a particular form or structure? Also really loved the painting!

    Wow! I am thrilled you enjoyed my poem so much, Rubypond. No, this is not a particular form, just quatrains written in iambic tetrameter. Many thanks for your high praise and those six bright stars.
