three poems on a rainy day
Sep. 7th, 2011 10:13 pmAll day long the rain falls
I watch worms squirm on the asphalt
and my shoes soak through in the deepest puddles
which grow deeper every time I walk through them.
Shaking the rain off my umbrella,
I turn with a smile to a friend
but my heart falls with the rain.
I let the sky do my crying,
And get on with my day.
---
All day long the rain falls
And I keep going and going
Despite only wanting a cup of tea.
---
Guess who?
Sadness sneaks up behind me
and slips its hands over my eyes
like a close friend.
I watch worms squirm on the asphalt
and my shoes soak through in the deepest puddles
which grow deeper every time I walk through them.
Shaking the rain off my umbrella,
I turn with a smile to a friend
but my heart falls with the rain.
I let the sky do my crying,
And get on with my day.

and slips its hands over my eyes
like a close friend.
