Rain
Outside the rain had ceased. Chariots of clouds are on the move Dark light peeped through the window
Pigeons sat strangely silent I read till the light was gone I could have easily switch on a lamp but wanted to ride the day down into night I heard a murmur from the dark “Do not go gentle into the night, Go wild Rage, rage against the dying day light” I had a temptation to plunge into the wet night The street outside was dark and moist I put on my windsheater ventured into the dark weary night Cold breeze caressed my cheeks Raindrops cleansed my face A thunderous feeling entered my nerves and signaled that heavy rain is on the way I walked slowly to immerse in the rain

Good one friend! But you have to imagine more mixed with sweet sense of rhythm together to beautify it nicely! A break in rhythm is noticed here, but writting is high class. Here imaginnetion and sweet sense of rhythm is more important than writting abili
