Poem    When the lights went out by Mihiri Tantirimudalige (6 ratings) Rate this Poem (5 best) 1 2 3 4 5   The sky mourns when it’s raining, The clouds groan as they weep, The child huddles in his blanket, Unable to catch a wink of sleep The trees grumble and swear, As their branches go into full sway, The child peers from beneath the sheets, Praying the rain would cease its fray A shadow silhouetted against the lightening, ‘tis what the child sees sprawled ‘cross the floor, His pulse races and his heart leaps, There stands his mama with a candle at the door Sponsor ads
