Today the London air is feels charged somehow,
cuts at my skin and stings my eyes,
the wind screams warnings to me as I stumble through the streets.
And the relentless rain beats down upon me,
it tries, but fails,
to wash away these stains that disfigure me.
And the pale sun only half lights up the day,
the weak rays quickly melt away,
but I don't care, right now I feel more comfortable in the dark.
Tonight the London elements are matching my mood,
clouds are mustering,
the atmosphere almost seems tangible around me,
slow, saturated, on the brink,
I sense the thunder will soon be heard.


any suggestions for a title would be appreciated. I was going to call it 'the thunder will soon be heard' but I don't think it is quite right. Anyway I can't think of anything

A great write, you've got some very vivid imagery here and combined with the emotion it makes for a very good read

OHHHH..dont you love it when the weather matches your mood? I hate it when you feel like a storm's brewing inside and it's all bright and sunny out. Nicely done, sorry I couldnt think of a title for it.

I like Clumsy's idea, "In The Dark," for a title.  I much enjoyed the visual nature of this poem, I think you did a good job of it.  

Nice work.

Very interesting subject matter.  Did you specifically think of using enjambment throughout or did it just happen?  Either way, I think it really added to the piece.  Nice work
