Deciduous Clouds Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Deciduous Clouds

Rating: 5.0

The Fall, clad in black-gray
deciduous clouds, the sky
heaves of relief a deep sigh
hailstorm falls in a loud prayer,

the merciless summer retreat
the dust-parched earth greet
as northerly winds gather their fleet
gray leaves fall in a dead sleet.

I can think about deciduous forests when I imagine the concept of deciduous clouds. Excellent poetry
