Nature is so ominously powerful and no man made structure is forever. Even stone is worn away by the elements. What a well constructed interesting poem. I have always been curious what it would be like to live in countries that have annual monsoon and how people cope with that. I can imagine the clouds being so foreboding and the following torrents of rain relentless. Excellent poem, you know your craft Loke...10++++

You don't want to be around when the monsoon hits! Can be very devastating and certainly miserable. Thanks Simone

During the time of monsoon, sometimes the heavens open, pouring out in torrents, causing the lands to inundate and the rivers to go into spate! The people in the low lying areas are the worst hit! The havoc, the floods bring is beyond repair. Sometimes the rain will stop abruptly and life goes back to normal! The monsoon fury is brought out in all its intensity!

The fury brought in by torrential rains and the relief felt by people when the rain stops have come alive in this poem. Thank you so much.
