I’m Pat Tyrer from Canyon, Texas for the High-Plains-Public-Radio-Readers Book Club.

Today I’ll be sharing some poetry, all tangentially connected to our spring theme of “Water, Water, Neverwhere.”

I’ve included poems from famous poets as well as those from poets on the High Plains. And of course, I’ll begin with the most often quoted poem about water excerpted from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, excerpt Lines 115-126
“Drought Contingency Implementation” by Pat Tyrer
“Rain” by Phillip Periman

I hope you’ve enjoyed this small selection of poetry.
