The first rain
Of the much awaited monsoon
Is pouring!
Its raining as heavily
As it can!
And the sound of thunder
Is like that of a cannonade.
And Under the huge shed
Of my school-canteen,
Standing all by myself,
I am wondering
Why the gardener is
Still watering the plants
Holding a pipe in his hand!
The first rain, thunder and its sounds, pouring down from the mighty heavens into my soul and i sense it outside and inside me. Beautiful poem and your innocence and sense of wonder in this poem attracted me. Thank you dear poetss. tony
