While scrolling down the list of poetry contest this morning, I became inspired to a kind of combo of idears. I combined "It Happened on a Rainy Night , with ," Star Crossed Lovers" and came up with this......Hope You Enjoy. JT

It happened on a rainy night
As I walked out....
........... and she walked in
I alone possessed the paper
As she retained the only pen
Oh, the poetry we could have written 
And the stories we might create
If she arrived a minute early
Or I departed, a little late

She sought shelter form the weather
As I ran to to catch the bus
Instead of loving life together
Loneliness was meant for us
They say that Love never fails
I would like to think they're right
But it was lost in just a moment
Once upon a rainy night.
