Magical Monsoon Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Since early morning
Silver threads dancing
Silver flowers on the ground
Thunder rumbles around

A carpet of water
All over the town
Colourful umbrellas
Walking around

Colourful raincoats
And colourful shoes
Jumping over poodles
And wading through pools

Swish, swish, swish
Roll on the wheels
Splashing through the poodles
And drenching people

Splash, splash, splash
Go bare-head children
From school to home
Drenched to the bone

Sneeze, sneeze and sneeze
The children sneeze
They caught the cold
For being so bold
