This is poem I penned for a poetry writing competition... I hope I get the prize :-/ (The topic was given by them)
The Mystique of Rain
The Monsoons arrived, earthy, scented,
gently pattering against my window pane,
I fought, I tried, succumbed, relented,
and fell victim, to the mystique of rain.
Diamonds, showered from the heavens above,
is it not strange we search for others underground?
the ones descending are the tears of god,
but the buried ones do us humans hound.
The very essence, spirit of rain charms me,
ensnares me, with its seasonal fall,
its overpowering aroma of earth and sea,
its unique way of purging all.
O' Rain! Oh Mystery of Life!
Subject it is to its whims and pauses,
one year it destroys, bringing hopeless strife,
the very next it blesses, erasing the pain it causes.
God's tears? They may be so,
but are bound with flashes and thunder,
tears of God they are, as they flow,
but of joy or sorrow? I wonder.

Hey dude...your poems are getting really deep :). You should start writing descriptions for each poem.
Ambar...If you dont send this poem to some magazine or a literary site, I will! I'm not kidding, this poem was amazing. I loved the second paragraph. That thought is really beautiful

Karthik: Dude, what do you mean by descriptions??
Ambar, beautiful poem and so deep. 1st prize from me. But tell me, why do you make us wait so long between posts?

Yeah, that was a nice poem. I think what Kar means about descriptions is like, what did you fight from the mystique of rain from? and what d'u mean by searching for others underground? I really liked the last three paras. they were really pretty. the first two you kinda confused a little but overall nice job.
