Death In Disguise

Pattering rain shattering on grey road
With grisly green umbrella she troad
In a black attire looking ghostly white
Her red woeful eyes sending fearful jilt.

Watery moon painting yellowish lips
Frozen fear dancing on pink finger tips
Her flowing hair sweeping pain of ashes
An orange lamp blinking passing wishes.

Violet blooms falling from whining trees
Covering brown earth - a graveyard in pleas
Ah nature, dull and dreary, standing still
Her fervid eloquence under blue spill.

My canary cage cried a fearful moan
While eyes shifted, into thin air she gone.

Beautiful Poem Jenish I felt like I was looking out of a rain-splattered window that blurred my vision so I could not see clearly all that was going on outside. I saw colour and shapes Blossom falling from trees and felt sad and trapped inside even though I was not in chains. I love this poem it made me think ...Thank you
