Of A Monsoon Tempest Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

The sky growls in pain
against the skyscrapers
screeching through windows
scattering dust and leaves
along the city roads.


life pauses
for some in anguish
for others a reminder
of sorrows.

the wind eases
against the darkening sky
while the clouds gather
for a night of thunder

as morning breaks
the trees whimper
branches broken off
electric wires
lay tangled and in tatters

in remembrance
of the vengeful anger
of a monsoon tempest.
