Summer Rain

Summer Rain:

am trying my hand at poetry too for a change :P..yeah, i know many of you will laugh.(me too when i was writing this! ).

This poem is inspired by the summer rain,which i happened to watch today...

the noon was dull,
the roads were dusty,
we could hear the hawkers call
fading with distance in lanes that were empty.

the sun was blazing in all its flair,
humans, animals none were spared.
a small cloud appeared out of nowhere,
it gathered few friends which now looked like grandma's hair.

slowly the clouds gobbled up the sun,
the weather looked a lot more gloomy.
it started getting dark and the kids came out for some fun,
the birds were confused by nature's folly :P.

suddenly,there was a tiny visitor from the heavens,
he was scared but decided to take the plunge,but not in vain.
mother earth took him into her bosom to caress,
soon others followed and there was rain!.

the dust swirls around in the rain,
looks like the gown of a small girl playing.
it brings a smile on the face again,
the smell of water on hot earth is really soothing.

summer rain is short lived like a good dream,
it's lovely as long as you are asleep.
one stops with mom's scream,
the other with clear skies and sun back to being supreme!
