The Plaza After Rain
This poem is about a painting by Paul Cornoyer.
The newly wet sidewalk gently reflects the hidden sun. The gloomy trees are full of lifelessness and stillness. A black dress carelessly walks down the sodden pathway with her children in hand. The distant trolley quietly rings it’s bell, and horses hooves gently rap on the cobblestone street, as a man saunters down the cobblestone trying to miss the puddles. The buildings help hide the light from the sun to make the street below seem like a well lit alleyway. In the distance the buildings are masked by the newly fallen fog. Yet the streets still reflect the light and everything around them.
