Rain & Cuckoo

Rain, yes-today

 

Rain comes along at long last

The  early flowers perish fast

As if the birds are put out too by the drizzl

Silence resides the earth for the time being

except the sound of rain, thrushing- thrushing

A reinforcing brush on the sketch  of early spring

 soon the world will turn out a verdant painting

 Summer is a few touches away

Swallows are back,  yes-today

 

Who is regretting the pulpy petals

as fruits mourn the fallen foliage

 

Cuckoo on Campus

 

A cuckoo amidst campus acooing-cooing

Renting a heart to nostalgia hearkening

Least befits blithe campus such a woeful voice

Wherein bouystrious life jublee rejoice

Sparrows or swallows are all right

Magpies and blue jays vulgar spright

But a cuckoo, no, your gloomy song

To graveyard or hermit hills belong

 Prelife of yours must have been a miserable one

So you incarnated to this world with a wistful tongue

That to my ears your are ever imploring your love

“Not to  go, wait!  Not to go, wait!”
