Monsoon magic

 Monsoon arrives on a wand 

Wave of  a magical hand 

A green velvet fairyland 

Every year as planned 


Trees sprout new branches ,  leaves 

Upstart weed flounces , creeps 

Vines crawl up walls , eaves 

Heart shaped , green weaves 


Forest floor becomes dark

Moist earth and wet bark 

The earth is green and happy  

Trees close overhead canopy 


Unseen grow multitude grasses 

Proliferate treacherous mosses 

Everything green , slippery 

Glossy , floozy , spiky , rubbery 


Abundance is the theme 

Humans try to contain the green 

Uncontrolled it bounces 

swells , uncoils , flounces 


Oh it seems so futile 

Emerald mile upon mile 

tendril , twig , crunch and pile 

A swish , a sigh , a smile 


Only to dry , snap , into wood and straw 

In the summer months , dry , rot raw 

What a waste of life and its potential 

Same is true of us too , men and all !!
