COLLEEN’S WEEKLY #TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 91, “Magic & Green,” #SYNONYMSONLY

The dry spell no more

rain god waves  conjuring wand

sea water turns  grey

the trees become fresh and bathed

making earth lush emerald

—————————-

need incantations 

to put the unripened fruits

back where they belonged

unluckily plucked in haste 

before they were fully ripe 

Mumbai Monsoon

There was heavy rainfall last week,  rains have reduced, still on and off they come with vengeance in heavy bouts. It’s cloudy with strong winds blowing.  On Marine Drive its an occasion for the selfie lovers who in spite of the warning from the police department taking selfies DANADAN with pouts without inhibitions.

Long live Mumbaiyaas and their un-daunting spirit.

We are enjoying rains here which is scarce in Visakhapatnam.I’m also busy with my phone taking shot after shot.

बारिश/ Barish/ Rains

Enjoying rains in Mumbai, of course from a safe distance.

सावन तो सावन है 

बचपन का हो या 

बुढ़ापे का 

क्यों है शिकवा 

ज़माने से 

कागज़ भी है 

पानी भी है 

कौन रोकता है तुम्हे 

कश्ती तैराने से 

मन तो कभी बूढ़ा 

नहीं होता 

कौन रोकता है 

बच्चों की ख़ुशी में 

खुश हो जाने से 

छत से झांक कर 

मौज करते बच्चों को देखो 

कौन रोकता है 

बारिश का लुत्फ़ 

उठाने से
