The City of Lights was Dark

by Sean Allen   Jun 9, 2004


We were sitting in a cafe
when the dark clouds swept in.
Soon the rain began to fall;
thunder added to the din.

Lightning struck from the sky
and smote a power line.
Soon all the lights on the block
ceased to glow and shine.

You and I, we ran outside
and danced in the street.
We jumped and sang at the top of our lungs
and I swept you off your feet.

I was drenched to the bone,
and you were soaking too.
And while we spun and laughed and kissed,
I knew I\'d die for you.

I have had a good fun life
and that one day in September,
the day the City of Lights was dark,
that is the best day I can remember.

    Another really great poem!! Had a great ending aswell.. And, I liked the third stanza. And the rhyming and flow were alright, A little shaky here and there, But it was still a great poem. =) 5/5

    That's cute. It reminds me of something my boyfriend and I would do. The flow was good aswell as the rythym. I know I can repeat that alot, but I find it rather important.

    I really lilke this poem. But its sooo short. You could have added more detail of what heppened, i mean i respect you didnt bore us with stupid details like "I sat down and drank a glass of water" but you should add a little more. But overall its a great poem.

    First off I've got to say, great poem. You mend the words easily into keeping the flow throughout the whole poem without disturbing it. You chose almost the perfect words for it and made them work.

    Although only a suggestion. It could be better if the was a little longer, because you just get into the feel of it and all of a sudden it ends. And again only a suggestion because I think it works well the way it is, but to interest some of the readers a little more, maybe add another 1-3 stanzas near the middle. Make it more interesting. It doesnt have to be a story, keep the writing up and please comment on some of mine so I can become a better writer as you have obviously become.

    Once again great poem and I hope you continue to write more.
