Raindrops

Rapturous noise from the sky; makes dark clouds to shed crocodile tears, as heavy wind blows, sand,paper and polythenes fly and float all through and through... Many roofing sheets beat the drum like a loud dirge; The roads sweep clean as the breeze whistles along, And the heaven..opens!, As rain drops heavily... thorough bath for the trees in the forest, the cars packed in open spaces in the cities, and roofs of buildings. ..And some air pollutants dissolve to form solutions. The hard soil opens to swallow these drops hungrily and the dead hidden seeds spout out and new cotyledons appear, dry swamps become living marsh lands, Breathing and stilt roots of red and white mangroves are now active and alive. Mud fish and cat fish dance for joy; praying mantis prayers answered as the frogs and toads hop and croak for coitus with their females; ducks and ducklings waggle their tail feathers as celestial aqua touches their bodies; Tilapia and grilse synchronize together, while dogs and goats run for shade. The chameleon licks drops of water with its retractable tongue,as the Mole prepares to build with soft clay; Farmers burn incense to the almighty for these drops;hoping for a better harvest; Continuous raindrops turn into avalanche of water; flood! fast-moving water sweeping through the city; coast and littoral zones overflowing with aqua, properties destroy,life lost and homes submerge; Government calls for evacuation.
