Rain is nice to watch from  balconies

On leisure days, sipping flavoured sweet tea

Not when it catches you unaware, on the road

Drench and wet your only pair of shirts and coats.

Rain is nice when it falls on the roof at night

For you to sleep under soothing dim lights

Not when it overflows the roads and drains

Erode the earth and derail tracks of a train.

Rain is nice  when it falls gently and quiet

Whistling love songs you go on long drives

Not when it floods cities and towns

Enter parks and streets and house compounds.

Rain is nice when you travel on the train

Rushing through forests and gorgeous terrains

Not when you are up in the sky sitting in a plane

The pilot tells you  ‘it’s a little turbulence’, and reminds you to fasten your seat belts.

Rain is nice when it comes after awaiting for days

When the very first drop spread the soil’s earthy scent

Evokes the heart with desires for love and romance

The music of rain wants you to break into a jig and dance.
