The First Rain Poem by Gurleen kaur Narang

The First Rain

Rating: 5.0


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!

gurleen, i like that you wrote this without trying to rhyme. this line resonates for me— the sound of thunder Is like that of a cannonade. and i wonder along with you about the gardener. if you're interested, i have a short poem, thunder over downtown denver. glen
