RAIN DROPS- A QUATERN

A quatern is a french form of poetry.
Rhyme scheme- Abab cAca adAd eaeA
A- refrain line
Syllabic scheme- 8 syllables per line.


The thunders roar and rain drops pour,
Over green leaves and thatched roofs.
Rivers and ponds swell more and more.
Rain drops clatter like trampling hooves.

Lightening flash and those dark clouds grin.
 The thunders roar and rain drops pour.
Cool, pure rain drops wash every sin
Of each man and comfort his core.

Little children float boats to explore
Wonder lands which lie in their dreams.
The thunders roar and rain drops pour.
Paper boats sink with childish screams.

A poet sits alone with his pen
At cool nights… other people snore.
A good wet poem the world does gain.
The thunders roar and rain drops pour.

The Pantomimist

He never said a word where None would suffice. And really Words were luxuries, wrongfully Labeled as necessities Freedom who, freedom where Freedom when, he couldn't go Home, which home was it really !! He didn't say, he smiled sad This is your place, this is where You belong, they always said He never used words, he never Raised his voice, he only smiled sad Borders and limits and words Languages, cultures,  Nations Religions, loyalties and societies Freedom from whom ? Freedom when ? The home was long lost among Those borders drawn and the earth Divided, for whom ?? His earth, his love His birthright. He never said a word. Kisses were perversely preferable than wars He made love to the earth in a very profane way Across the borders of the living and the dead Though he got murdered, did the pantomimist die !!!
