The Praise

All of it began in the coastal town,

But ended up in the golden crown.

Dedication which you had in work,

Uncovered all the enemy's lurk.

Leathery was your dart..

Kernel always was your heart..

All you taught are still with us,

Lonely we are without you thus.

Admiring you always are we versed

Meghalaya has now been cursed.

(This one is an acrostic poem on Dr. Abdul Kalam. The lines also correspond to rain. So this poem is praise to both Dr.Kalam and rain. It refers to both the subjects when viewed from different perspectives)
