Irrepressible - heat or breeze?

                  Lashing droplets..

          Fierce upon barren earth

   pregnant dark clouds empty their load

bartering the swelter to a new found breeze

                summer showers..

                 Summer..

              Sultry, sulky

     Simmering ,sweltering, scorching

       Distant horizon craves again

                         Rain..

 

 

Don't know whether these two equate to a cinquain..hope should clarify..

I'm off on a  vacation..So may not post anything for sometime..

And my son to his grandparent's house,, I feel like a distant horizon craving for rain...

But could the cool breeze too  mock someone? very frequently used in tamil cinema songs..

I chanced to see this anecdote in a pasuram by tirumangai azhwar...

 

 காரும் வார் பனிக் கடலும், அன்னவன் 

தாரும்  மார்வமும் கண்ட தண்டமோ?

சோரு மாமுகில் துளியினூடு வந்து 

ஈர வாடைதான் ஈரும் என்னையே 

திருமங்கை ஆழ்வார் 

The breeze is laced with droplets cold..

Of the showers somewhere, from the distant clouds.

Its coldness clamping my soul, my being,

Reminding his nature, the iciness pervading

Mocking my heart, desiring his form

Of deep blue sea, and of thunderstorm..
