Raining in summer ! Always nice to bless,
whether showers be heavy, more or less.
Rains moisten to cool, soothe and impress.
Me to face tropical sizzling summer,
strongly hitting with humid hot hammer.
Dry days meet thirst fram rain drops to murmur.
Scorching heat perchance calling immense cloud,
loaded with aqua mass carried in crowd
Summer rais burst flashing thunderbolt loud.
Trees and plants are slapped by strong summer storm.
Natural happenstance, absolute norm,
inviting summer showers to perform.
Soil caught in draught rejoiced in mirth.
Pleasant petrichor oozing from wet earth.
Bubbling passion for you taking new birth.

Topic: Poetess (Naila Rais)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
full in its glory
brighter then a star
flower's close as night falls
night creatures come out of their hidding places
moon's rais are creatures of the night light to see
like the sun only better
ningekua rais wa nchi hii
Ningewatosa marafiki
Sababu wamekua chanzo cha matatizo
Maishani mwangu kwa miongo
Ningekua rais wa nchi hii
Wageni wangetusifu kwa zetu bidii
Heshima wangetupa
Na sio dharau sasa wanazotupa
