POEM STARTER
Two strangers caught in the downpour share an umbrella.
Craft a poem or short story around this idea.
Interlude
God, I fear today
I am at risk of
Spontaneous combustion
How quick am I to cry
To be moved to tears
At the thought of love lost
Simple conversation
Menial question, small talk,
Just as simply
The voice starts to crack,
A well erupts
And you hide your face
Or, no.
Give it shelter.
A part of me believes we live in the only universe boomerangs could feasibly exist.
I relent-
Maybe it’s amazement.
But we have each other
To commend memories,
And smother nothing
**_Nothing ever has to hurt more than twice _**
So
When the rain comes
Won’t you stand under my umbrella with me?
Old memory of mine.
New stranger.
