Monsoon Scene

Hidden betwixt bloom-petals bees and beetles play, Sculptured, like scorpions, black clouds often collect; Cool moisture vaporous breeze on air perfume spray, Sky, in schoolboy costumes, colors-brushes select. Pregnant with drops, heavy-laden clouds, Torrents pour, Creaks and cracks break soon like streams and rivulets vast; Bullfrogs, in snake holes, seeking mates, like lions roar, Knaves! They slip into the mouths of snakes as break-fast. Parrots in green silks, amidst leaves play with the rooks, Branches, dripping crystal blood, wave-like live phantoms; Lightning, piercing cloudy caverns, light up all nooks, The drama of nature - performed with cool tantrums. Though glooms of monsoon resemble crucifixion, Monsoon, in true conception, is resurrection. (Amidst floods, the monsoon in India is a season to relish and cherish. Every scene of monsoon can give themes for many poems). 30 July 2021
