Poem: Waiting For The Rain
Poem: Waiting for the Rain
I sat waiting for the rain to come
Because the rumbling of thunder
Seemed to come from just beyond
My door; I expected the darkness
Of the sky to produce some kind
Of downpour, but none came.
I sat waiting for the rain to come
And wash away my expectations that
The sky would stay so dauntingly gray;
That life would be this way until
A wave of relief flooded it; that I
Would continue to spend my days
Like this, waiting for the rain.

Poem: Cotton Candy
I’ll dream of you
In navy blue
Like you wore on that late spring night
When the festival light
Of fireworks bright
Was reflected back by your wide eyes.
I’ll sing to you of the world as I knew it
Amid the neon boom
That pounded in my ears.
It was the same night that I knew I loved you,
Cotton candy caught in my curls
Like the woven thread
Of my fingers intertwined with yours,
When I stood close enough to you
That I thought I could hear
The navy blue neon boom
Of your heartbeat matching mine.

Poem: Daybreak
When we came to an end,
I felt for a while as though
The sun would not rise again;
I stayed up until dawn to see
If this could prove to be true –
But when the sun rose as usual
And my heart sank further,
I realized that I shouldn’t expect
That the day wouldn’t break
When my heart was already broken.

//In response to the Writerscreed Challenge prompt: “darkness at dawn”
Thanks for Reading!
Hello, hello!
Today my blog reached 50 followers! This is (very) exciting for me, and I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to read my poems and choosing to stick around for more. (Special thanks to @poetryportal and @writerscreed for the reblogs and mentions, which helped me in reaching a larger audience!)
To celebrate, I posted three poems. I hope that you like them! Also, my asks are open (but I prefer obscure asks if it's something about me)!
I'll keep writing, and I hope that you'll keep reading!
Thanks again!

Poem: Thunder
A Haiku
Rumble and roll are
Words we use to try to calm
The sky as it screams.

Poem: Caterpillar
A Haiku
Caterpillar, you
Are stronger than you think. Soon
You will spread your wings.
