rains on the vegetable patch

Rains on the vegetable patch

Sickened, it came waning

From the up North, land of ice.

Feverish cloud, it came only

To ebb at your windowpane.

Rain; rain on your small love's patch

Where your vegetables grow

Drunk on white blood of the cloud.

You never knew the story

The cloud came here to say.

Come out. If the rainbow may

Remember from a life

Over the other end.

Marvelous, Poddar.

Do you think you have enough poems for a collection? Look up some books on Amazon, or other book site:
