Summer In India Poem by S.D. TIWARI

Wheat crop ripen
farmers ready to reap
harvesting season

fear amidst hot days
of dust and sand storms
heat tests life

shadow of tree
sherbet to drink
villagers beat heat

souls animals plants
and the environment
everything thirsty

first rain drops
farmer frog fish
wait eagerly

desert plants slash size
of their own leaves in summer
preserve water

cold drink
increased consumption
cola companies delight
