Rains In Tirupati Poem by Jagannath rao Adukuri

It rained all night
Frogs croaked
From muddy cesspools
Wet crows shivered
On wind-buffeted branches
Dogs shook themselves
Of chilly wetness
Moths took wings
Of one-day glory
Coconuts swayed
In rain-drenched delight
Droplets from the sky
Were manna to farmers
Rivulets flowed on the hills
In shimmering cascades
The hills wore green
Bright yellow flowers
Filled the air with fragrance
All the creatures of the earth
Joined the chorus of life.
