Little Old woman Gray as the day Head bent, windblown Her left hand guides a cane To steady herself upon wet, uneven asphalt And with her right holds high a leopard print umbrella As one would wield a flaming torch against the unknown

I picture this write a sight which caught your eye...Then I think to myself the journey of this womans life...the stories she could tell. I really enjoyed this one.

Leann,

Perhaps the leopard print umbrella was meant to brighten the gloom? Those golden years aren't always golden. So I'm told. (lol)Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

Rose is right, this does read like a story or at least a mystery...where is she going, why is she out in the rain, where is her family...all questions that pop to mind with such a vivid word painting.
