After It Rained! Poem by Shahzia Batool
After It Rained!
Roof-tops quickened
by juvenile shouts
kites are flying
against the sky
drawing strokes
of brilliant art
canvas sky
and artist breeze
changing patterns
now and then
flaked,
patched,
and barred clouds;
deep-delighting
wafts of breeze
fluttering, floating,
gliding birds;
haughty sun
is not so hot
throat of soil
is not so slaked
veins of leaves
are no more parched
peace-treaty
duly signed
between the heaven
and the earth,
life resurrected
after it rained!
A lovely celebration of rain rejuvenating the earth, images are chosen craftily. Sky is a canvas splashed with the colors of life. It's lovely picture in words.
All what all of us see and hear is just a blessing of god.Yes the magical rain too.here the poet says, the deep and deep affectionate love and care on his unique creation the earth.the rain here only a symbol that says how we can change this world peace and treaty
It’s lovely and rich in vocabulary! ! ! You have painted the whole picture so beautifully :)
