Monsoon Rains In October Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

Thunder rumble in the distance
Wind howl in a loud hissing voice
The leaves are restless in the trees
Rustling to the blow of the wind
The sky is dark with gray clouds
Obstructing the light of the sun
Rain just pour suddenly in big drops
Like hooves marching on the metal roofs
The storm has come to visit again
Breeding worry and fear in the hearts
Rain water flood the streets that rise to knee level
Some houses are like pools
As dwellers wade in muddy water flowing from the street
Trash floats in all direction
That brings displeasure to the eyes
Every year people have to endure nature's wrath
When monsoon rains come in October
It breaks the routine of life for a while
And disrupts the normal flow of life
