Someone Is There

Overhead
               clouds 
               threaten 
               rain
  A shadow before my eyes
       Someone is there
Afternoon showers 
          drown out thought and pain
  In the heart of 
      the metropolis
  Ghostly trees drip drip drip onto the pavement
      Someone is there 
Near the large trees 
      steps are being taken 
One more day 
 of clouds and weariness
       As the storm 
ends
     Ther's no doubt 
That in the shadowy
   heart of the city 
Someone is there

Carolyn Devonshire September 25, 2010 at 5:32 PM Compelling, Matthew. It reads like the beginning of a great mystery novel. You set a suspenseful mood and leave the reader wondering who that "someone" is! Love, Carolyn
