 WELCOME SHOWERS- POEM

Dear friends,

                      Some time back, I promised to put up a poem on rain. I waited all these days to really get a feel of rain myself- Yes- it rained few days back- but I was on the highway. My only connection with nature was the sky, sun and the clouds. I am sharing my feel of the rain

                           WELCOME SHOWERS

                           The outbound crawl  
                           
                           Gears into a run -

                           The four-wheeled

                           Power-chariot

                           Exits the last the of the city -

                          Hitting the life-line of the nation -

                          The Highway!

                          The city speds past

                          melting way behind as a dot 

                          The four-lane wonder

                          SUPER POWERING INDIA

                          Stretches and stretches ahead
                         
                          With the mind galloping in front
                          
                          >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

                          For once the landscape seems out of india
                   
                         Catapulting into a posh-western country

                         Poverty, penury, rape, murder and theft

                         All go into hiding beaten into oblivion

                        Living the illussionary moments

                        The power-chariot goes into
          
                        an overdrive -

                       Sun is out blazing in all splendour

                       Air whizzes past

                      bathing the interiors

                      blissfully cooling the charioters

                      relegating A.C. to a superfluous feature

                     The chariot flies past -

                     >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

                     Yahoo! Song and whistle let themselves out

                    ZIP ZAP ZOOM, ZIP ZAP ZOOM

                    Aha! the blue sky

                   turns murky and gloomy

                 Pregnant clouds

                 Shroud the sky -

                 Signalling an imminent delivery!

                 The first droplet

                 flies down

                blowing the first kiss!

               Kisses galore -

              droplets swell -

              and it is rain! rain! rain! all around!

              Soft hissing sound -

              flows honey into the ears

             Dancing down shower

            takes delight to the eyes

           The earth-kissing smell

           sweeps fragrance into the nostrils

           Song and whistle

           Remerge 
           
           staging an encore!

           The power-chariot

          enters the first of the town

          With showers

          Ushering in the charioter -

          ME!

        Thanks for reading. Your poetic comments welcome

       Bharath selvan

also if i had been elsewhere other than on highway when it rained, my expressions would have been different depending on the situation i was in.

see i have added the words illusionary moments. our country is generally not known for neatness,cleanliness and punctuality. our-lifestyle nowadays is a copy of western style. While we dress the way the westerners wear, their positve traits are completely ignored. that only is implied here. and as for words people make aha!over poorly written wihtout any style supposed poems(!) here.anyway thanks for the comments.
