Fare thee well, Monsoon!

The monsoon season in Delhi is almost on its last leg.

'Tis time to bid goodbye 

to the washed clean Greens, 

the diamond drops on the edges of leaves, 

the freshly scrubbed flowers, 

a peahen crouching under the Neem Tree 
to keep its pretty feathers dry, 

the rhythm of the gentle pitter-patter, 

the curtain of rain that falls 
lusciously in such symmetry,
and the great after-look 

of having been rain stroked 
and rain-kissed!

Until next year then!
