Night Walk

The rain came down around the street
While old shoes dragged tired feet
The sky was gray, the day was cold
The air felt quiet, soft, and old
A passing car sped loudly by
Then faded somewhere through the sky
I pulled my hood up nice and tight
And walked myself back home that night

A lovely quick descriptive write on a night walk which gives a clear image, Collier. Well done for posting your first poem here on this site. I enjoyed your rhymes. These two lines are good juxtapositions: “ The air felt quiet, soft, and old A passing car sped loudly by” to have inserted. Keep writing & posting your poems. Sending great Love from South Africa.
