Heat waves give way to the dark clouds
The sunshine backs
off and no longer people growl
It has been a long and arduous wait in sweat
The clap of thunder and raindrops take away
fret
The gurgling streams and puddles spill all around
Torrents of rain
and streaks of lightning abound
The respite is soothing as green shrubs have rebound
Nature
has its way to bring happiness beyond bounds
Steaming hot tea and pakoras are such a delight
No better way to
celebrate the drenched nature’s might.

DeleteLovely poem!
ReplyDeleteThe rains have been crazy in Kolkata this past week. on Monday, we had hail and a wind-storm. Everyone had trouble returning home on time. A 35-minute journey took around 4 hours. The rains have not been heavy since, but it's still pouring incessantly. Our lift has stopped working because rainwater has accumulated and since the terrace is not sloped, water is seeping through the gap of the door, down the stairs and flooding the house!
While I love the rains, this is the first time I am experiencing such an inconvenience *sigh*
Thank you Divya! Unfortunately we are not prepared for the rains anywhere in the country be it a city or a village !
DeleteBlissful! My heart goes racing every time rain comes. You have penned it so exquisitely that it actually made me feel rain. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Raj for that kind comment! You made my day:)
