rains came
sometimes only a drizzle
or a pouring out all day
slope of the terrain meant it would not pool
rather it made a tiny groove in the crushed gravel
winter came and it rained and rained
groove went deeper into the road until it was a rut
Now tires might get stuck
a flash flood would wash it away
that would keep the people out
the road needs maintenance

That’s how I see a groove–a rut in the road. I hadn’t thought of tires getting stuck, but that seems possible.

oh yes…….the rains that come and come so hard and for so long that they create grooves in the earth, the slopes, the mountainsides….and ruts in the road that fill with the water. Good details here.
