Raining in Summer

Unseasonal summer rains at once burst
Everywhere litter and garbage dispersed
Making men run here and there for shelter
In no time, life becomes helter-skelter 
 
Unexpected like facing an old friend
Heat waves turn into zephyrs in the end
Enraptured by a great relief to hearts
Pleasant weather diffused in many parts

Unlucky for farmers who toiled year long
Grains stay afloat; a heart rendering song
In the wink of an eye, things go tumbled
Happy dreams about their kindred crumbled

Unkind like a bad master who reviles
Vicious arrows of words for making trials 
With tongue lashing, makes the servants feel hurt
As huge hailstones thudding down with a spurt

Unfurls an eye feasting vibrant rainbow 
Cleans air and makes leaves look fresh and aglow
Koel starts singing as if spring gets back
A curtain raiser to ‘Fall’ next on track


Place: 2nd
