It Is Raining Now....Wow! Poem by Tribhawan Kaul

Dense clouds pregnant with rain
Welcome some, others disdain.

Under the spell of monsoon
Some cry and others croon.

Rains, both awful and awesome
Waiting a year, for its welcome.

Bringing forth different emotions
Smiles, horror, anguish and satisfaction.

Drizzle brings dating couple to smile
hand in hand, enjoy walking a mile.

Intermittent rains make children happy
knocking out heat from their company.

Torrents create panic in traffic wards
deluge warns flood on the cards.

Simple rain soothing the nerves
greenery laps it up with all its verves.

Incessant rains bring no relief
slum dwellers are left to grieve.

Harvesting rain makes some sense
providing water during dry months.

Strange, rains need no stage
churning elixir as well horror in rage.

Rain dance and make us dance
opened heavens give us a chance.

Creating a rhythm like bharatanatayam
life in rains is simply awesome.

Enacting different rasas sometimes in 30 minutes
weathermen watching keenly, its performance.

Like rainbows, rain brings colour and vigour
Life line of my country, let us all cheer.
