October 24th

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

2 days of pretty much nonstop rain,

English weather is a fucking pain.

October 24th, convoy of cars on the main road,

People dead on the inside, anger set to reload.

Halloween decorations up a week in advance,

An evil holiday I don't celebrate, no chance.

Morbidly dark mornings and dark nights too,

Energy harvesting us in the concrete zoo.

Trying to write on my phone but water keeps splashing the screen,

A female jogger passes by wearing shorts, light jacket that's green.

My town has gone to ruin but they keep building more and more houses,

Evil ones in charge with a more wickedly engineered mind than Bowsers is.

    This poem casts a mood that is a bit dreary starting with the rain and ending with ones in charge of the building of new developments. Nicely done

    Excellent

    That jogger passing by in shorts while you’re battling the rain made me laugh, Shaun…perfectly absurd. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
