2007-12-07 Poetry, Gray Rain

Gray Rain.

Clouded sky, just turning day, charcoal-gray.
Rain-washed streets, reflecting sky, steely-gray.
Tail-light highlights, floating on street, reddish-gray.
Flashing streetlights, on running water, yellow-green-gray.
River of rain, washed over street, cloudy-gray.
Car in fog, tires splashing, maroon-gray.
Headlights winking, wipers slashing, twinkle-gray.
Red bricks covered, in watery glaze, purple-gray.
Sky now lighter, rain still falling, cloudy-gray.
Car now brighter, driving slowly, whitish-gray.
Walking slowly, crossing asphalt, splashy-gray.
Raindrops twinkle, plinking puddles, gray on gray.
Two-inch total, salmon in street, rainy-gray.
Daylight rises, brightens colors, gray today.
