Probir Gupta Poet Pantoum

The Rainy Day

Rainy day
Green and grey leisure
You say
It is a pleasure

Green and grey leisure
Drifting poems in sky
It is a pleasure
Golden kites flying very high

Drifting poems in sky
You want them close
Golden kites fly very high
You are morose

You want them very close
So that you can smell
You are morose
Indweller clouds rebel

So that you can smell
You have been waiting
Indweller clouds rebel
A restlessness fascinating

You have been waiting
You say
A restlessness excruciating
Rainy day

Demetrios Trifiatis July 3, 2017 at 1:41 PM A rainy day/ an opportunity to play/ with the cloud/ that comes around! A masterful writing of a Pantoum my friend, Probir! Delightful especially with temperatures in Greece in the low 40 C! Probir Gupta July 5, 2017 at 5:44 AM My goodness! ... as high as 40! ... but perhaps the sucking sweat you don't have to suffer from .. Now I understand why your roof top is so intensely colourful ... Thank you for your colourful appreciation too ...
