One Rainy Night Poem by Achintya Rajimwale

As the rain fell into the night
The sky shone in the brightest light
Men scurried, their bodies cloaked
Searched for shelter, as if they choked

Tot's young faces were gripped by gloom
For they wished to be amused in bloom
The adults' moods were also spoiled
For their plans were nothing but foiled

While the city was cold and its spirit was bleak
So was the forest but with a little tweak

The elves came out dancing in the drizzle
The fairies sparkled a different kind of mizzle
The wizards shut their books and removed their hoods
Even the witches smiled as douse covered the woods

Oh! Of jolly and laughter the forest rang
As goblins jumped and pixies sang
Even the wise sages of old
Were amazed as dwarves forsake their gold

The hour of closure began to impend
When the angels began their descend
As the sky shone in the brightest light
And the rain poured into the night
