The Shade At Night

Sitting in the shade at night...
                                          Peeled back dreams to see what's right...
                                            Heart shaped raindrops falling softly...
                                          Caught in my hand and held thoughtfuly...
                                             Left over showers to cleanse my soul...
                                          Discolored skylines that are painted bold...
                                             Hugging words that seem so bright...
                                                   Sitting in the shade at night...

A sweet little rhyming poem, Michael. It reminds me somewhat of a triolet except without so much of the repetition of one.

Excellent look at quite contemplation on a rainy night. The flow and rhyme scheme compliment each other well and the images are vibrant. Great poem sir, thanks for sharing.
