Rain
By: Ashley Pehrson

Rain
A drop of water
Condensed into a cloud.
Alone.
The pressure, the darkness,
Flashes of lightning,
Blinding and false.
The water falls;

Drop
By
Drop.

Stay inside or move away.
I feel a storm is approaching.

Poetry

"I wanted my readers to really experience the emotion behind my work and I want it to hit when they dig deeper into the meaning of the poem. I was really surprised at how personal this poem was to me." --Ashley Pehrson from Firth High School
