Forty Quatrains On Rainy Season [36 - 40] Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

36.The cool red Jasmine buds bloom in a line like the beaks of the Kingfishers. The heroine, with enormous wealth, cool rain-like eyes
and words, is from this town fit to feed us with feasts.
So you speed up the chariot.

37.The hero will come back when the clouds which drank the waters
of the black sea, got impregnated, climbed up the hills with huge boulders and poured down heavily in the rainy season. As he had to fight for the king, his return delays. The hero will come certainly.

38.The great male elephants with dots on their faces wallowed in the
dust.The cool rainy season has come which facilitates them to play with female elephants. But the hero hasn't yet come. O, you bangles worn woman! Why do you suffer for him?

39.The tillers wore the circlets of clusters of flowers and twigs of Notchi, with buds alike the eyes of crabs, and began to plough the vast land.The scandal broke against the hero as the rainy season has commenced its course in our town.

40.O, you tender woman! He failed to keep his word as he hasn't come.You aggrieved as your hero's return delayed, but the beautiful clouds proved healing medicine for your cure turning to dark clouds.The rainy season will remove the pallor in your forehead and make it shining.
