MUMBAI'S RELENTLESS RAINS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The sky seems to tell
‘for water you always yell;
am now belly-full
let there be no more.pell-mell
go and fill your lakes and wells'
‘this is.fresh water
quench your thirst and feel better
bathe yourself later
"cats and dogs" - mere chatter
of "rainy days"- be aware! ‘
- - tanka
Rainy days - a time of need or trouble (in current context-days of acute water shortage)
raining.cats and dogs- very heavy rain
pell-mell- hasty, rushed, disorderly

I would like to translate this poem
rain is the sign of benediction for everything and everyone but excessive anything is horrible more than venomous snake!
thanks for your comments, dear poet!
