Rain,rain,rain

NafisaSB

Rain, rain, rain

Falling on the pane

Pattering in the lane

Rushing down the drain

 

From the cloud which roars

Down, down, it pours

Close all the doors

We’ll have to stay indoors

 

Raincoats can be seen

Grey, black and green

As far as can be seen

None of them are clean

 

Mud, dirt, grime

Spreading all the time

Puddles everywhere

At which you may stare

 

Water – knee deep

Rubbish in a heap

A woman in a jeep

From time to time does peep

 

Sky’s overcast

Its menacing and vast

Clouds do thunder

It’s really a scene of wonder

 

The cold wind does bite

It fills one with fright

The lightning’s very bright

It really is a sight

 

Rain, rain, rain

You do not come in vain

For though you bring dirt

You are a boon to the earth.

    Stay dry, and may your garden bloom.

    • NafisaSB

      lol - we do manage to stay dry as we venture out when its not pouring, and if we do what are raincoats and windcheaters for.
      i hope my garden will bloom - the heat has been abominable and my poor plants start drooping since there is a water cut and they get less than they should.

      If rain is what you want and need, I'm happy for you.... sometimes though know it is quite possible to have too much of a good thing.....LOL

      • NafisaSB

        at the moment, the water shortage in mumbai is so acute that we desperately need the rain to fill up the reservoirs so that the daily water cut stops. yes, if it starts flooding the areas, that is a headache too, but all of us in the city are waiting to be drenched - the heat has been abominable - nature taking its revenge - global warming attacking us..

          Where is this? From your home page/public profile it would seem you prefer to go incognito.😊

          • NafisaSB

            complied with your request by updating my profile - though a bit reluctant to post my pic on public platforms

            • Doggerel Dave

              Thanks for that - most poems make a little more sense and are usually the richer for knowing who wrote them. No, don't put your photo up if you are already on police files somewhere.......... LOL lol......

              • NafisaSB

                LOL - DONT WANT YOU TO TAKE THE CREDIT AWAY FROM THEM
                HAVE AN EXCITING TIME JOINING THE CHASE

                • Doggerel Dave

                  😅😂🤣Yeh - me and my walking stick.....!

                  • NafisaSB

                    I’ve heard the monsoon season is a blessing for scorched earth. I can imagine everything bursting into life after the downpours. A visually pleasing poem. Lovely work.

                    • NafisaSB

                      yes, thank you, my flowers and plants get a new lease of life, and so does the greenery in our complex, and around the city. a visual treat for sure.
                      thanks for the appreciation - have a lovely day
