Gray Skies

Stormy night on a haunted street 
All night, the sun and the rain compete

When dawn breaks, the people crowd together
To observe all the terrors
Committed by nightfall

The horror and disgust 
On the children's faces
Kicking through all the dust
To see the obscure places

The people go home
The streets becomes tranquil, calm
The gray sky sets in

A Combination of Forms of Poetry
