UNSEEN POETRY AND PROSE

Read the poem and answer the question

At the onset of the rain

The drought-stricken land

Suck up the wetness

And the gates to the field

Are flung widely open.

It is the signal for planting!

It is time for joyous toiling!

At various times of day

The hard and erect hoe

Would thrust and dig deep

Into the receiving wet soil.

Seeds on different quantities

Seeds of varying potency

Are broadcasted in layers

Into the womb of the earth

With time and much labour

The seed now transformed

Blossoms and grows into new life!
