There Will Be Rain Tomorrow Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

No cloud yet,
but there may be rain tomorrow --
birds have been waiting expectantly,
their eyes asking for a little rain,
dry feathers want to be wet,
there may be rain tomorrow.

Leaves - dry and yellowish,
bitumen on the road
umbrellas of different colours --
bare-bodied boys of the streets
want a little rain -
and there may be rain tomorrow.

Speeding cars will splash water
over the body of the walker,
he will be at the receiving end
signal - will the speedometer send?
About machine I don't know,
hope there will be rain tomorrow.

Dark cloud will cover the sky
frequent lightning will close the eye
drops will fall down, I will see
and will drench me - full of glee.
And tonight I hold my umbrella up --
sure there will be rain tomorrow.
