Rainy Day In A Poor Character’s House Or Area by Divepen1(m): 1:15pm On Oct 18, 2017
During Rainy Period in a poor character houses and area

Sight
Greyness of the sky, water splashing from roof
Leaky roofs for some
People running to pack their clothes and foodstuffs
People pouring dirt from dustbins into drainages


Women and children scrambling about to drop buckets and big bowl under roofs
Fallen soaked clothes
Arrow-like rain pouring
Trees dancing to the tune of wind
Water dripping from trees
Animals are being ushered into their pen and cages


Children playing gleefully in the rain
Boys and men playing football in the rain
Traders rushing about to cover their wares
Shop owners covering their wares and dragging some into the shops
Rugged or good umbrella being carried about to get goods


Dirties from dirty roof being washed down
Sky devoid of birds
Animals hiding among trees
Earthworm poking out of the soils
Frogs among marshy area
Cars sinking into marshy roads
Overflooding of drainage
Blocked drainages
People falling into drainages because of over-flooding



People trying to cross and over-flooded road
People drenched in the rain
Flushed bodies
Wet hair
Body hair raising
People shaking
People hiding under shades- shops and houses with open compounds
Stray animals trying to find cover in people’s houses



Smell
Rawness of food
Rottenness of food
Horrible smells of unwashed drainage
Toxic smells of Sewage
An unexplainable smell of cold



Feeling
Cold
A desire for warmth
A desire to hug oneself
Warmth from within



Sound
Rushing water
Women shouting at children
Women calling to their neighbours
Splatter of water on roofs
Howling of wind
Noise from dancing trees
Wailing of Power-lines for those living under it.

Silence of animal
Laughter of children playing in the rain
Wail of children whose parent eventually flog for being in the rain
Whistling sounds of people as they blow air from
