Drip, Drop, Plop,
Skip, Jump, Hop,
She follows the raindrop’s trail,
Trying to catch its tail,
Sliding on the rose trellis,
And the balcony rail.
“Quick, Mumma, it slips away”,
An upward glance she lays,
On her Mother, standing guard,
Over her innocent play.
The coltish mind reasons,
“There’s other tails to catch”.
Out she thrusts one tiny hand,
To gather the clouds in her clasp.
Then lo and behold, she grows tall,
Mumma has held her up,
She opens that small ‘O’ on her face,
And savors the monsoon,
Gathered in her cup.

This is beautiful and draws me in to savour the monsoon. I can relate to this a bit (having been in India) because when I was in a Singapore downpour, I wrote this: https://rhfoerger.wordpress.com/2016/09/23/walking-on-the-surface-of-things/
Shalom.

Thank you so much. I’m glad you could relate to my poetry. Some human experiences are shared across the world, varying only in degrees. I suppose savoring a rainfall is one of them 🙂
