Early Morning Rain Poem by Tony Adah

Early Morning Rain



The cock has crowed
Once and twice,
Clouds gather in the rumbling sky
It is a chilly morning
Twice the day dawns.
The rain stamp her boneless feet
On the ground,
Spattering and causing rills
That slither pass like snakes
There's a silent war the sky
Declares against the infant day
Children fret about when a truce
Gathers in from this war.
On the lawn
The drooping flowers pay obeisance
To the king sitting on
Sitting on a liquid throne
Birds have gone back to sleep
And lizards who waited for the
Morning sun, nodding their heads.
Anxious children look outside
Their school bags beside them
Birds chatter is near
Our landmark coconut fronds swaying
In the breeze
The magic of the early morning rain gone.
