A poem on rain.

This photo was taken on our way back from the sanctuary.

The sky tanks overflow

fills our dry tanks below

the vegetation, emerald

the sun shines its gold

earth’s marvels allure, how they unfold.

A play of sun and shade amongst the lush green

a rejuvenating scene

and the foliage

a swaying engage

the rain and vapour

shuttles a silver yarn

from sky to earth and back to sky

we recall those days dry,

just thinking will never do 

the lands are parched, they crackle

their prolonged summer battle

harvesting rain water

could see us through.

    A lovely poem with a good message. We have three big rain barrels in the garden to catch rain water and last night we had torrential rain so they are all full.

    Very well written. The picture too captures the imagination.

    very well expressed, over here, the weather extremely hot, usually when it’s too hot, will rain (burst)

    I don\’t want heavy rain, just a light shower to cool down the place.

    This is an interesting poem about the rain. It hasn’t rained here in NJ that much. Great pic that you used.

    I like rain as long as I don’t experience it.

    Beautiful. I always had a thing for the rain. If you listen closely, it speaks to you the secrets of life.
