Poetry Part Three
Okay, okay, I need to admit this week’s poem was a little harder to create. My mind has been busy with many things. It’s hard, sometimes, to settle the mind down to write. As I sat here for a few minutes trying to decide what the blog would be this week, I thought about one of the many stories I have started. The story itself was born from one those “look at this picture and create a story” things. While what you read in the poem below is not the story I’m writing, it’s based off the same picture.
Standing in the Rain
K Wendt
The midday darkens
A breeze plays with my hair
The sound in the clouds beckons
Rain dampens the air
Plop! Plop! Plop!
It sings
As it drops
I’m listening
There’s a message there
Within the rain
Proceed with care
It strains
People walk by
They’re staring at me
My umbrella at my side
As I wash myself clean
*No, the picture attached is not the original photo the story is being written from.*
