Two Lovers Walking in the Evening Light

poem for Stormy Lady's contest

Two Lovers Walking in the Evening Light

In the evening light
Of a summer’s night

Two lovers
Walk down the street

Walking under the lights
Of the setting sun

The clouds burst forth
A gentle rain begins to fall

The lovers laugh
Pull out their umbrellas

And begin singing
Singing in the rain

Some cats see them
And stare at the mad lovers

Some dogs see them
And join them In howling at the rain

As the rain falls
Their love deepens
