Grey Clouds

Colour the skies grey:
voila! Green becomes greener.
The rains pour magic.
- me

Grey clouds spread like
powder in the wind. Thoughts
of rain evaporate.
- Alaka

The grey clouds, the cool
winds, the amorous mood cry -
when will the rains come?
- me

Each one woos the rain
in their own way -
the peacock with its plumage,
the poet with her verses.
- Alaka
