I Miss You, Rain - Poem
Rozlin loves composing poems and sharing them with her readers. She pours her heart in her every write up.
I Love Rain
As I have been living in India for years, I love rain. Then I shifted to UAE. Rainfall in UAE is infrequent and does not last for a long period. It mostly rains during the winter period between November and March in the form of short downpours and an occasional thunderstorm. On average, rain falls only 25 days a year. They create artificial rain through cloud seeding process. In India, its rainy season now and I miss those rainy days.
I Miss You, Rain - Poem
With dense black clouds, lightning and thunder you come,
To uplift my mood quickly,
To give me relief from scorching heat.
O soothing rain, I miss you in this arid land.
O undecided rain when I decide to step out, you drizzle,
I miss that unique earthy smell when you mizzle.
On a cold night, you pittar patter on the roof I love to listen,
And the pleasant cool weather you make.
Caught in your surprise downpour,
With no umbrella you made me dance.
U recall me my paper boats sailing down the stream,
And a fun break from school on your heavy shower.
I reminisce the fun of standing under draining pipe from the roof,
Feeling the soft pressure of water on my head,
And shaking droplets collected on leaves,
And splashing muddy puddles.
O dear rain, I miss your cool breeze.
If I were a bird, I would have flown,
Crossing the oceans and the mountains,
To the blessed place you are.
I miss you in this sweltering heat,
I miss you in the day,
I miss you in the night,
Come soon to make me gleeful again.
