In response to iScriblr.com’s Freedom of Expression Challenge #21, for the prompt word “RAIN”
The arid tanned landscape
paints a picture so gloomy,
the languid eyes look up in earnest
at the clear blue skies
waiting to be enveloped by
the dark grey clouds
to shower pearly white drops
washing the dusty brown land anew.
The fresh scent of petrichor
the drops bring in,
paints the earth in hues of green
the aqua waters of the sea swell up,
the crimson petals of flowers
lie scattered on the pavement, satiated
every living soul comes alive
O Rain,
the flora and fauna
rejoices as you shower
your silver elixir!
A Divine Read.. must say.. 😇👌🏼👌🏼…💕

Beautiful! It’s indeed an artist playing with so many colors!! Great perspective!! Eagerly waiting for the arrival of this artist 😀 ….
the water situation looks very grim here with only 13% remaining in reservoirs…Mumbai is running on reserves and whole of Maharashtra is under severe drought! Even others states too…

Thanks Sifar. Water is a priceless and finite resource. So we should make genuine efforts to conserve it. I hope the rain God blesses us in abundance.

This is one of the poem that says importance of rain, that has written so far on Earth. I am repeating what I told before I am waiting for the day when your poem will come in English books for children.
