The Wordle with the following words given:
cells crows eroded last one scarce strength rain revisited rooted wove vegetation

Scarce rainfall
one of subdued
strength eroded
vegetation woven
in rooted cells of
dry countryside
where crows
last revisited

    Yet another really tight and economical Wordle. Must be something in the water this week. Nicely done.

    Such arid scenery often evoke feelings of both beauty and sadness. I get a feeling of calm timelessness when visiting such locations in Australia.

    even those places have their strengths and life we will see no where else....sparse yes, but alive still...

    Really like your economic use for this poem about a place considered by some to be barren or even unwelcoming. I think your brevity underlines the reality that there is life here, but one has to take the time to look or might miss it. A closer look is often rewarded.

    Your brevity underscores the importance of your message! There is much life to be seen even in barren places!

    You capture the feel of the image well with your words, Hank. I'm sure enjoying chasing crows around this week. ;)
