Grass greener than feels natural;

as though sprouted from some

luminescent realm where 

contrast makes normality feel

contrastingly bizarre. 

 

Grey skies making colours in

bare tree branches stand out,

they reach across to touch;

each brown shade holding red

shades; holding purples; holding

blues. 

 

Rain is a cloud that hovers 

rather than drops that fall;

soaking through the blackening 

pavements where footprints are

as temporary as lost words in 

sleepless nights.

"Rain is a cloud that hovers" Excellent work, I would have been very proud this to me is real poetry.

Keep well! Tom Brown and Cheers!
