Overcast

Ruthie21


For the rain rockets down far too fast,
The umbrellas jump up as I walk past.
The clouds form into a gang,
For I feel like lightning will soon start to bang.

Children are unsettling the unsightly puddles,
As me and my younger sister, under our brolly, start to huddle.
But then I notice the homeless, hungry and poor,
It's them I feel sorry for.

    WELCOME RUTHIE ~ Thank you for a very elegant first poem. I love the contrast of you and your Sister almost enjoying the challenge of the rain and then your heart aching for the plight of the homeless ~ hungry and poor ! No umbrella for shelter and (in some cases) no roof for refuge ~ AWESOME ! Thanks for sharing and caring ~ Yours BRIAN.
