Monday

Dark Rain


In the thinning dusk, a Gothic cloud drapes in loops across the sky.
Pouring down a wet shower on earth.
Casting down a dark shadow, dampening the brightest candle.
Rain reaching every nook and cranny.
The black cloud does not have a dark purpose.
For it feeds our earth's soil

Poem by Ana, age 11.

This is another very good poem. Ana should submit poetry to the Wazee Journal, www.wazeejournal.org and see what happens. She can also become a friend of the WJ on Facebook.
