STANDING IN THE RAIN

Standing in the rain
watching the parade
going by when a old 
man told me about
his life told me his 
wife was gone it
wasn't long before
he sang song and then
he was gone

standing in the rain
waiting for a train
and watching all 
the people talk
about there pain
watching it washed
all down the drain
before we all go
sane

Standing in the rain 
on the edge of the 
woods waiting for 
bus no one made fuss
out of wood came girl
wearing hood she stood
there looking at us and 
ran back in the woods i
should have ran in after her
that would not be good 
so i will just stand in the
rain

Thank you Marion This is an old poem I just change the name of it and no I didn’t go after the girl in the woods I thought about going after but the way I am said it rhymed and I do like watching people go by where I sit for coffee every morning people walk by and I say hello they say hello back

Hi Greg, 
I liked the repeating line: "Standing in the rain" 
You did a great job with incorporating rhyme into each stanza. 

Favorite lines:
