The nectar was missing.

The insect cried out to the petals.

The crinkled petals
gazed folornly at the stalk.

The stalk nudged the friendly  leaves.

The leaves poked the strong stem.

The stem swayed
shaking the tired roots.

The roots bulged out of the soil
seeking solace...water.

Ah, wetness at last!

Some kindly soul
sipping from a bottle,
sprinkled some water.
