petals opening
tuning fork humming of bees ~
a curtain raiser
Place: 3rd
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
Awakened life on earth from QUIET sleep,
A PEACEFUL dawn with gentle warmth and
SERENE healing rays on lush green valley;
Divine TRANQUIL ambience disseminated,
The stunning STILL sight of miraculous nature,
Earth soaked in heat and pulse of life quickened.
A CALM daybreak is the splendid curtain raiser.
