Rain is a distress
For a man
Without an umbrella

It is rapture
For the drenched

It is balmy
For agonized mind

Untimely rain is
Destruction

Wayward rain is
Anguish

Ceased rain is
Accomplishment

Late rain is
Forgetfulness

Summer rain is
Festival

Unabated rain is
Tears

Morning rain is
Prayer

Light drizzle is
Soothing

Torrential rain is
Murderous

And slanting rain is
Poetry.
