Winter Rain

It’s raining hard

With lightning and thunders

For long hours

As more grey clouds are coming in

It’s not the monsoon

Nor the summer shower

Can’t believe

It’s a winter rain !

It was hot during the daytime

right from the mornings

And even at nights, there was no cool air

I hoped for misty mornings

As I started my new walking routine

I love the scene of trees and flowers

bathed by the naughty mist at night

when i go out in the morning

This time around,rains bathed them

without giving time to dry themselves

I love the sight of sun rays

melting and vaporising the mist

from the leaves and all around

As time nears the noon

if you look at the sky

You can see vapor rising up the sky like smoke

I'vent seen it yet this year

Fogs are thing of the past

I remember those  days

when fog conquered miles and miles

even the hills disappeared under its carpet

i miss that dark thick blanket of fog

that comes every year

Everyone is relying on ceiling fans and air coolers

To keep away the heat

But as the barometer kept rising

Drops of heavenly rain started showering down

As I laid down resting after football game

At my old haunting ground

It’s been raining ever since

And it seems, there is to more to come

I wonder why we have to get the cooler air

Albeit the surprise rain

Northern parts of are

Swamped under the freezing cold

Even the neighboring states are feeling the cold

I wonder what happened to this hilly seaside state

We never get snow here

But this is the only time we get some fog and chilly air

How did it elude us?

Rather, we are carrying umbrellas

Elsewhere,kids couldnt play outside

 due to snow or chilly weather

Here,it's the rain keeping them inside

Is this a sign for future?

Is global warming a myth or reality

Monsoon is faltering

And now we are getting a new kind of rain

At the cost of a winter!

As I listen to the news about the deep freeze in UK

And the erratic snow patterns around the world

As certain places got more snow than they do

Catching them in awkward

And keeping them indoors

Relying on the heating systems

I wonder if we will get to face

Even the slighter winter we get normally

I wish to see the back of winter rain

Rather I wish to see it during summer
