The clouds are still grey and dark,
and all is bathed by monsoon gloom.
Though life is thriving and greenery stark
an air of bored impatience looms.
All is bathed by monsoon gloom;
Rain was once a welcome visitor.
But an air of bored impatience looms:
Nature has had enough of her!
Rain was once a welcome visitor.
Now her musty presence is liked by none:
Nature has had enough of her!
All what she wants is a bit of Sun.
nice - this is a really full exploaration of the prompt
ReplyDeleteA wonderful pantoum, and I understand the sentiments expressed. Sometimes rain does indeed overstay her welcome!
ReplyDeleteNice form.. I enjoyed the repetitive lines.
ReplyDeleteI don't like too much rain too.. the sunny day is always a perfect day for me ~
Love the repetition..

This sounds very much like one of the poetry forms I'm trying to get my head around and I love it! We don't do monsoons in my 'neck of the woods' and I suppose that makes it more exotic... Great write!
ReplyDeletelovely words...nicely crafted lines!
ReplyDeleteWell Done! You really captured the essence and the lyrical tone~

ReplyDeleteI live in the Sonora Desert, and we experience a summer monsoon season. You have created a beautiful and artistic pantoum that accurately imparts the feelings of those who relish the dry heat. Me... I love the rain!
