Rain Poem by Nagabhushana Swamy

Rain



rain sobbing
like a depressed mind
downpouring with hailstones

bursting despair and pouring grief

knitting the torn sleeves of mind
a poem, an unbroken thread of
words
and words
and words

my verse
like rain
drench and contain
kids
who search me
remember
my song
rain drops on their lips
rain again
flows again
dropp by drop
word by word

Kannada poem by Mamta G Sagar, Translated by O. L. Nagabhushana Swamy

The fall of rain is described in a dramatic way. Well composed..

It's nice, I found the opening lines quite powerful! I lost the thread for a moment with 'kids who search me', But then I saw what you are saying. And I like the poetry of it, the theme of 'return'.
