monsoon musings
Monsoons generally stir up the poet inside many of us. Shri Atreya Sarma of Muse fame, penned and posted the following musings on 24th July 2009. :
Monsoon at peak
Men sucked
Into manholes
Monsoon at peak
Clogged drains
Traffic snarls
Monsoon at peak
Anticipating it
The bill-keen contractor
Patches up the road
Just the day before
Monsoon at peak
Pushing my car
Dripping with sweat
Monsoon at peak
Drinking water
And drain
In illicit sex
Monsoon at peak
Dogs and birds
Waiting in starvation
Along with beggars
Monsoon at peak
Bespectacled
Wishing
They had wipers
Monsoon at peak
Reluctant shutting
Of doors and windows
Mopping the ‘power’less floor
In dark suffocation
Monsoon at peak
Tickets sold out
Match cancelled
Monson at peak
Shopkeepers
Counting raindrops
Monsoon at peak
Mother earth
Having bath
To heart’s content
Monsoon at peak
Inexpensive honeymoon
For newly weds
In response to these , I too penned some more musings. Sample them :
Dear Atreya, It’s been a lot of fun reading yours and JS Broca’s take on monsoon. Simply enjoyed all the images. Well, there is something about the monsoons. Thanks

Dear Brocaji, You’re unstoppable just like the peak monsoon downpour. And thank you for your warm appreciation. Affectionate regards.

Jitoo ji,
You have started a premonsoon feeling in all who read you; Walking through knee deep waters with all the dirt floating around; roads and gullis having a yearly bath; The trees and leaves standing out in their original greens;taking french leave to relive a honeymoon; well so many rainy thoughts crossed my mind; I can imagine the poets` minds trickling away like the raindrops.
Thanks for sharing
