Ob River Russia

Extending its reach
Impinged on various peoples
of many regions

No surprise then the
Ob River known by many
names of endearment

Over calm waters
The Moon grimaced a little
for rain was then due

Written for Chev's CARPE DIEM #373 -  Ob River 
and Leo's Haiku Heights #317  -  grimace
