Thunders rock the sky
bringing excess rain along
resonating and rejuvenating
Fair plays the wind
foul plays the rain
With the wind picking up
the rain loses its punch
blowing high over the seas
the wind make the tides rise.
Up and up the waves gets buoyed
giving a sensational feel.
The rains remain indolent
getting nowhere in the light
presenting a doleful spite
looking demure and docile.
The wind blowing fierce
releases energy great
while the rain in reluctance
The rain and wind
never go well together
like the cat and the mouse
if done cause a disaster
dangerous and devastating.
A few minutes back on the lane
there was a big noise
that of dogs barking in vain
and men running out of no choice
trying to catch the man not sane
who was frightening the small boys
with his crooked long cane
the little ones in fear threw their toys
but he continued his strain
they got terrified losing their poise
started crying with deep mental pain
but he danced and played in rejoice
until there came a heavy downpour of rain
saving the boys from this curious bane.
The sun and rain play important
as they give vitality to life
The sun gives impetus to growth
The rain supplements the progress.
Life in darkness sees no thrive.
Life without water also finds no reprieve.
Complementing each other in the drive
the prosperity gets on with a push
sustaining the world in which we live
keeping us alive in this world of struggle.
An excess of sun and rain will bring a collapse
as the rains becomes storm rummaging the entire
causing a hang over in full term.
The extra ordinary sun shine would char life
demeaning the whole to burnt cinders
The deficit of rain and water
would again land in trouble
creating famine and drought
with that killing many along
in their quick schedule.
The clouds gather in haste.
The sky turns dark,very dark.
all set for a down pour heavy
The wind blows unexpectedly
picking up in velocity
scatters the clouds
clears
the sky
and the rain is not seen.
The mind gets clear.
The thoughts spread over.
all set for a decision.
The emotions overwhelm suddenly
gains momentum in speed
diffuses the thoughts
contaminates the mind
and the decision is not taken.
With a sun’s smile
and the rains frown
the day dawns
The sun picks up
the rain loses
the day advances.
The sun at top
the rain not seen
the day turns noon.
The sun retreats
the clouds gather
the evening sets in.
The sun sinks
the clouds get dark
rains come.
It is the rain’s play
lashing and falling
in down pour.
Such are the vagaries
of nature and life
unpredictable and unsworn.

N
ot knowing when the rains would come
hung the clothes to dry in the sun shine
As had no work went to sleep in the bedroom
I slept like a log and the time was nine.
I got up after I heard the calling bell.
Drawing the curtains found to my dismay
that it had been raining like hell.
I ran towards the yard in an array..
The clothes were soaked in water.
Took them and placed them in the dryer.
After wrenching every drop of water
hung them once again in the open yard near the foyer.
The sun had come out fully and shining.
As there was no sign of rain anymore
went out with my friend who had come calling.
Spent some time with her in a shop called Baltimore
Spending a few hours with her made my way home.
Lo! the rain clouds were again gathering fast
chiding myself I hurried back home
hoping to reach home before the rains start
I had been a few minutes late and the rains had come.
This time it was a thrash and a torrence.
My clothes were once again drenched wholesome
forcing me again to carry the work in all reverence.
