Rainstorm Romance, a poem by Mark Tulin

It was a rainstorm infatuation.

The clouds romantically dimmed the skies.

She looked perfect under the veiled night,

deep brown skin, hair dripping of rainwater,

eyes as big as saucers.

A rainstorm of happenstance

that we’ll never regret,

even when we’re happily married

to someone else.

These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you.

    I sooo Loved this, Mark!! Especially the ending lines – “A rainstorm of happenstance

    that we’ll never regret,

    even when we’re happily married

    to someone else.” Bellissimo, My Friend!!!
