Description
Overcast is beautifulThe sky, a solid slate of gray
Untouched but imperfect
With rain drizzling down all day
I love to take walks when the weather gets like this
It contains a certain calm that the sun will often miss
But even as I'm walking
Dark thoughts will give me trouble
I pause and look down at my own face
Reflected in the puddle
The contours are correct, that is my face, those are my eyes
But it's the soul behind them I don't recognize
And a tear streaks down my cheek
As a smile parts my lips
How
Even on a day like this
When there's no reason to hide
I still see
A complete stranger inside.

A wonderful theme and I think you handled the rhyming beautifully. So many rhyming poems are painfully contorted to fit the rhyme scheme, but I hardly even noticed it (because it flowed so well). This was simply excellent.

Ironic that is overcast today... or just coincidental. Either way this was a beautiful poem.

Wow. I love the fact that I came across this when overcast is exactly how the weather is right now. Beautiful poem.

I've actually done that before my cats rubbed off on me and made me not like getting wet. I really like it though
