Four Micropoems by Bharati Nayak

Rain
The sky darkened
Rain lashing 
window panes 
I sip hot coffee!
□
Rainbow 
A dark cloud hangs
Golden sun rays 
scattered
A rainbow appear!
□
A Cuckoo 
Sweltering Summer
Concrete roads slither
A cuckoo coos!
□
Night 
Night falls slowly
Trees, mountains, rivers 
disappearing
Stars twinkle 
in the sky!
