Best Poems Written by Jakob Aides

Rain

Picked up his coat— 
And umbrella 
Not forgetting his hat
(Oh! How much he loves it)
Dad tiptoed out of the room
Looking back;
Every single step. 
What’s he trying to see?
Maybe Louise— 
Or perhaps; me!

Where is he even going?
(In the rain)
I could guess less
He was too sullen— 
To notice I was awake.

There was another;
I don’t know him.
(This strange fellow)
All this while; he had been impatiently waiting for dad—
“Are you ready yet?”
He asked
Dad looked back at our house, 
One more time 
And nodded a “yes!”
He started walking—
So swiftly out of sight 
As though never to return 
And it was his last
