Summer season
Lakes and tanks dried up
Parched throats
Monsoon arrives
bridges and roads marooned
Drenched lives
Lashing rains
Nests soaked in water
Birds shelter less
Depression in sea
No way to cast nets
Fishers waver
Beaches deserted
No sales to peanuts vendor
Cyclonic rain
Incessant downpour
Fisher woman waits for shoppers
Oil lamp flickers
