The poet has meticulously studied the terrible plight of people of Kerala...
Rain plays havoc on the nature and there is water everywhere. Child reacts to rain with innocence as any child would but the flood takes away his hut and also his granpa's life. The poet reminds all of us about the invincibility of nature which is cruel at times on human beings who are destined to receive it. A philosophical poem and good read.
Thank you Ramadas for digging out such precious jewels
Nautre gives us pleasure as well grief. In this poem in the first stanza you have inscribed the positive side and pleasure where as in the last stanza you have portrayed negative side or the melancholies. The poem is so moving. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Kumaramaniji. Life is momentary, to see both the sides, joy and grief, is mandatory
Thank you Dave Walker. The disasters caused by flood are beyond our imagination as far as the South Asian countries are concerned. The recent flood in Kerala has taken away many lives, houses and belongings. Thank you very much for sharing our sorrow.
I can't imagine the pain these floods cause, we are very lucky here in England. A very heart felt poem.

Thank you Sat. Bharati Nayak. The change of scene denotes the rapidly of the flood. It came all on a sudden without any warning sign and took away all it could pick up.
