Day 10- Prompt : Write a poem that starts from a regional phrase, particularly one to describe a weather phenomenon.
There is
a phrase in Malayalam related to the Monsoon showers: “Thullikkoru kudam pemari”…
which means it is raining in such torrents that a single drop runs to fill up an urn…
Elysian Nuptials
Gigantic droplets

| PC: Borrowed from the internet |
brimming into urns
Was that
a cloudburst
Cascading
in ebullient joy
Splashing
into gurgling puddles
The skies
have descended
With splintering
charm
The earth
has risen in embrace
Melting into
the Azure haze
Soaked, soused
and sated…
Thunder
rumbled in murky echoes
Slivers
of lightning
Shimmered
in glory
The fumes
of petrichor
Whirled up
in swirls…
