Rain in Summer

Yesterday it rained in Delhi, it must have spread smile on lacks of people. But for me it was something more than just a smile. I have always wished of such weather here but since one year of my stay n Delhi, I never came across such weather and started believing that ‘Delhi doesn’t have that kind of weather’. Spent most of the years of my life in a city like Udaipur, I feel a city in which we live should have some touch with nature around us. In such awesome weather, yesterday we went to Lotus Temple and that made my day. For the first time the pleasant weather made me feel of Delhi as a city which can be lived in, first time I felt like home.
At arriving home after enjoying the day and weather to its fullest, I sat down to write about it. The feelings were so intense that a poem emerged out from me and hence I titled it as ‘Rain in Summer’. All kinds of suggestions(including errors too in poem) are invited, as it is my first trial to write a poem.

When clouds covered hot, scorching sun, I felt as cozy as blanket in cold,
When there was cool breeze, I felt like flowing with it,
When there was earthy storm, I felt like standing within the whirlpool and going around the city with it,
When there were showers upon me, I felt like the rain drops are taking pain within me,
When trees were going with the wind, I felt like dancing along with nature,
When it was lightening, and only the lights appeared, my heart said wow,
But when it brought loud sound too with it, my body said shiver!!

When this rain stopped, like a nursery rhyme I said,
O rain, rain….come again, come again ….
How pleasant you make the weather,
How beautiful you make the nature.
You make earth livable
You make life enjoyable!!
