There is a drizzle out there
drop by drop come the rain
not big ones as I wish
tiny as pin heads they fall
wanted it to last for a time
disappeared in a few seconds
a disappointment gross
not only to me sole
to my plants too on whole
starved they are full
to my trees also still
look they parched
to my lawn entire
seem they very yellow and dire
to my ground in strain
appear scorched and drained
Would not the rain come?
I cry along with my entourage
No sign of rains in the round
a hot humid weather all around.

The Cherished
The most expensive produce
I thought a decade before
something precious
it was wonderful
glitters and gleams all through
the one thing I deemed most cheap
liquid simple found in plenty
no shine or no reflection
a colourless, odourless fluid
transparent and very useful
excelled in the aspect of utility alone
a decade later I find a difference
the costly one still remains so
whilst the no cost product
has gone up enormously
most so in value all over
to the point I deduce
it is the diamond that is held high
the plain water has overcome
rather overthrown the diamond
defying all expectations
scarcity mounts up
the paucity creates a demand
most cherished and dear it has become
