Summer Rain
Dust and sand move speedily up the sky,
As clouds darkened and threatened with great sound
Legs run,wind blows and swallows set to fly,
Tree branches bend and shed their leaves on ground,
Sky opens that farmers need not to cry,
Floods sweep across, toads mate;fries dance around,
Cool air flows through rooms to make heat to drop,
Hawkers and beggars pray for rain to stop,
Dirt from the roofs and plants are wash away,
The poor now collect aqua which they lack,
Meteorologists have nothing to say,
Vehicles with leaking roofs have to pack,
As drains need to be cleared without delay,
Ocean threatens at beach as waves attack,
While desert shouts for this season to last ,
Soil is now soft and hardness in the past .
