Poetry

Rainy Night

Lucy Watkins

Dark, wet, scary
The world outside quivers

Raindrops above our heads
Two umbrellas black

We sit on wet earth
The world darkens

One umbrella leaves
One umbrella alone

Crickets quiet
Cicadas chirp and flee

One umbrella returns
Two umbrellas moving

Across the rainy night
