Monsoon Air

The flooded street and neighbor's garden from this week's rain

The walls feel cold 

As earth feels colder 

Taps run mountain stream 

The wind blows its chillness 

Want no air conditioner 

Depression departed

The water recedes, yet wetness 

The monsoon isn't over 

And we already overdone; 

The excess goes to sea, flooding shores

And stagnation troubles citizens; 

Unnoticed critters come out 

Defines life and trouble

Media scares what was normal 

Too much is human desire; 

And he falls prey to his own error.

Hello,

The weather sounds frightful, glad you are safe!

I would say your poem describes the feel very well, but having never been in a monsoon, I am not speaking from exerience.

Good poem. Rain is good but not when it floods.

Nicely written from your feelings. India is having Wintry temperature now all the way to the south.

Hello Jeevan,:=) Good poem to describe the devastation of the monsoon. I know you are on second floor and safe, but hope the water recedes for the people on the ground floor, and that life goes back to normal. It sounds cold there. Take care, and stay warm.

An expressive poem. I like it, even in its sorrow.
