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.
