A beleaguered humid city
Prayers for respite from summer
Rain gods answer
Little raindrops rejoice
Summer runs asunder
A few days of joy
Then the city down under
Gutters run wild, shoes soiled,
Clothes don't dry, Yada Yada Yada
The city prays for winter
Aunt winter wears a sweater
Though its only 20°C-old
Days end early, Asthma attacks, Mosquitoes bite
Exams here and vacations round the corner
The city longs for summer
PS: Looooooong days.... shrt psts...
This post is dedicated to the city of complaint boxes.... I am... proudly... one of them... I enjoy the rains now... I look forward to complaining about it soon... WATCH THIS SPACE...

Mr. Mind Meanders,
You mallet sent the ball up ringing the bell again. Great writing!
And I hate poety. Here I sit jealous again.
Would you stop it? NOT!!
@ Grayquill
Thank You. Although I don't think it is really great... and never intended to write poetry.. was just emptying my mind...
wicked. i love mumbai because we have only one real season - monsoons. we wait for it, and then quickly crib about it. but its like with all our frikking progress and blackberry phones, every conversation in june is only about the rains. its not so easy to disconnect yourself from nature is it?
Hahaha too true :D :P
Cute poem :)
@ AGG
Lets enjoy the rains now and crib about it later...
@ Divya
Thank You. Personal Opinion - Poor Poetry. I cant write poetry. I don't know what came over me when I wrote that. The next day was embarrassing when I went back and read it.
I wish , i wish we could have rain here.....My heart aches for a few moments of drizzle onto my long hairs.
And all those blogs, about rain in mumbai and kerala add salt to my open wound. Alas....Nice poem BTW,:))
@ Zillion
LOLz Bro.. Patience... It has just started raining... Rain comes to those who wait :-)
Nice poem , why make it a city , the whole world is full of complaint boxes ....i wish we could have some rains here in chennai too..too hot!
@ Gymnast...
Patience my child... rain comes to those that wait... patiently...
New debate!
