Bus Stop

On one of those mornings
Far too drab and cheerless

Bleak and bone chilling
It's ready to ruin my day

After a tasteless breakfast
I'm tempted to call in sick

My walk to the bus stop
Is now a run in the rain

No bus - but a smiling
Lady with an umbrella

To share with a wet me
Plus good conversation

Learning about the other
All the way into downtown

Hours later at dinner we
Agree on our near future

Finally returning sleepily
Riding the bus to our stop


F William Broome 2009

Hello Bill,

Very nice and great story in a few words. It leaves the reader with the freedom to make out the ending.

Love it, Bill. I hope there's more to this brief
meeting at the bus stop, and that you plan to write
about it. -gene.

Bill, this is wonderful. It played out in my mind like a short film.

Bill,

It's pleasant to find a friend when the world is so routine at times. I walked through this one with you, sounds like a great bus ride!
