Spray Can

Multihued sky laden heavy with colour clouds

Seated above-- the Rain God's colourful play

Polished,shiny,coloured baubles and beads

Thousands of tinted huge coloured bubbles

Roar of thunder severs the coloured canopy

Then came the pitter patter followed by gushes


Bright ,sticky fast colours from the Spray Can

Showering heavenly colours on the dull earth

The rusted tin roof of the humble abode

Shines now with glimmering orange

The boundary wall painted grassy green

Chimney atop -- sparkling in white pearl


Polio-stricken child in crutches

Gazes longingly up to Rain God

Diamond rains down-- she is precious!!

Beggar in rags on an empty stomach

Sweet fluffy cakes ,almonds,cashews,pistachios..

Milk rains down-- he gulps and swallows


She has fared miserably in her Board exams

Stares shocked at the numbers raining from above

People are out on the streets with bags and nets

Money is raining !! Coins.. and currency

Even the millionaire forgets his decency

Was it real or simply a flight of fancy ?
