The Season Of Rain
By Devank Guha (Grade 8)
You know when monsoon has come
When the sky turns plum.
Dark clouds start to gather
And you can hear the pitter-patter
of raindrops hitting the ground
All the plants have almost drowned
You know the monsoon is here.
When the rain becomes severe
mist may cover the area.
Some plants may thrive like the plumeria
If you go out, remember to carry an umbrella
Or you can stay inside and read a novella.
You can see the lightning and the hear the thunder
Or stay in bed for slumber
Finally the storm departs and leaves us anew
The sun steps out amidst skies of blue.
