#5days5poems #Day2 - Dark Clouds

Outside, dark clouds gather.
They sat in a corner, oblivious,
In silence startled now and then
By claps of thunder.
 
They had given up
Pretending to eat.
 
At long last, he muttered,
“It’s complicated,”
Studying the water drops
On their window pane.
 
Elsewhere, a few other drops
Ran down a different corner.
 
One hopeless moment later,
She laughed – “That’s so lame!”
And wheeled herself
Out into the rain.
