 Black clouds vomited torrential rain, 

streaks of lightning blazed through the sky, 
bright light transited to doomsday murky, 
flaming sun ball jailed within puffs of grey, 
heat gods fast asleep in guest houses of monsoon, 
as oblong droplets of water tumbled down.
drenching parched fragments of boiling soil, 
washing tonnes of dust on tree leaves, 
sweeping stubborn layers of noxious debris, 
providing free baths to perspiring humans, 
sprinkling coolant liquid on scorched birds, 
dissipating chemicals from river bed, 
depleting fresh whitewash paint off gaudy color, 
prompting rivulets of water, to gush from drainpipe, 
flooding coastal ocean, swelling domestic river stream, 
with sheets of salty water encapsulating low land, 
dismantling weak foundations of cheap bamboo, 
tearing apart tin roofs from thatched hay, 
uprooting tree roots from deep recesses of ground, 
the rain continued with unrelenting fury, 
sparing none in proximity with earth, 
submerging visible land with pools of cloud water, 
revealing passionate creation of water, 
after arduous spells of steaming summer.
