A July Wish Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
A July Wish
We first hear the sound of rain
But realise soon it is not around us
The famished rain clouds
Have already been scattered
By this sun of the east
A cruel monster!
Bright bulbs and tinsel brilliance
Have no charms here
And the music of rain has long been
Forgotten for a season.
Beyond a hill near we see again and again
The sun dressed up like a baby demon!
Here we can look at these trees in woes,
The squirrels do not get nuts and fruits
From nearby groves that look worn out,
The birds in panic you see
Fly unto wells already dead deep down.
It is not raining...
A July wish it is
May it rain for a week
May we all be drenched in that heavenly water.
It is more than wish
Oh mother Earth, let us [me]be buried in ice
For an age if you wish so...
When the thunder threaten the skies
And the lightning draws lines of fire
We begin to wait for the accompanying clouds
But only see a strong wind
Slaughtering those toddler clouds
It is a pain that has a thousand buds.
For a moment I may close my eyes
And may forget the ordeal of heat in mounts.
It is a July wish in vain
Let it rain for a whole day
And let there be a rose blooming in my garden
That I shall offer to the rain god in hide.
Beautiful imagery presented here. A poem of true yearning and urgency.
When the thunder threaten the skies And the lightning draws lines of fire We begin to wait for the accompanying clouds But only see a strong wind Slaughtering those toddler clouds It is a pain that has a thousand buds. Beautiful poem expressing the yearnings and the frustrations of a scorched Earth and parched lips! I am reminded of the sound of thunder in Eliot's Waste Land... Let us hope that the arid lands will soon be drenched in heavenly showers.. Enjoyed. I give you top marks!
Bone dry, scorched earth, relentless sun beating down with rays of fire, eating days, that bring such a thirst for the feel of rain to replenish and cleanse the earth as well as our mind and soul! Inspired write!

I remember the school day rhymes which sounds rain rain go away, Come again another day But in today's world specially in India during this season we are deadly waiting for rain to at least receive its sprinkles on the withered or parched lands. Though this wish is for July: I really plead for a rain in this hot summer Sir!
longing for rain for the parched earth painted wonderfully.
Beautiful flow of words...The sun dressed up like a baby demon! Very true said, this time rainfall is just half of last year. Which is going to affect us badly if the same situation continues. Beautiful way you have presented.

It is a sad thing that irrespective of the monsoon time is fast going on no rains are coming and this poem expresses the concerns well and is good.
