Read Poem: My First Rain of Monsoon 2021, by Priyanci Jain

It was July 2021
and raining all-day

I was sitting at my home
Drops are coming my way
Should I go out or not
The confusion stayed

Mind shouts “Oh No”
But heart wins
By the way

I ran downstairs
Alone in the whole
Walking smoothly on the green
Blooming, budding, fresh like snow

My heart pours out
I feel alive
Desire to seize
The moment as my whole life

Smell, feel, touch and sound
I am a rain child
