Spring Showers

Spring is here
I long to see the rainbow
After the nimbus effect
That gives no hope of dawn.
The heavy pelts of heavenly pours
On dusty iron metals of every shelter
Leaves me cold fear and frail.
Paper canoes rejoice and be glad
For floods would flow by.
Happy time for the water pot
That humbles the proud harvest basket.
Blooms for flowers,
Lands left to fallow would sprout greens.
We shall play in the rain and drenched
To enjoy the pleasure of the season.
Taste of the morning dew 
Gives my cheeks a strange sweetness,
A hollow pleasure of pain.
Ease to the scorching sun
A bright new season that pleases.
