Silence After the Rain
Write a poem in any style which reflects this theme.
She Is Avenged
The storm in her mind swirls a blustery trail
Smashing her thoughts to shades of red
Fragments of colour like autumnal leaves
Light the fires inside her head
A crimson river meanders out
Across the floor beneath her feet
It frames the bloodied corpse, so still
As she sweetly starts to weep
At first a drop and then the tears
Rain softly, from her core
They soak the dagger in her hand
And cleanse away the gore
She kneels beside him, drops the sword
Rests her cheek upon his chest
The storm subsides and she is calm
But he is gone, she has no-one left
She kisses his bloodless lips so cold
So silent after the rain
She hides a smile, she is avenged!
He will never be unfaithful again.
