Excellence Award in the 'Inspired 2019' competition

Torrential rain was cascading
from the eyes of the clouds.
Drops of danger surged the streets
as the gut of umbrellas folded inside
out.

Citizens were doused in relentless rain
as they scattered in all directions.
The rain clashed with umbrellas like cats and dogs.
Gusts of gales scattered leavesall around the city,
decayed.

Hazardous winds stripped the umbrellas as they blushed in
embarrassment.
Drains greedily consumed water and debris.
The clouds continued cacklinguncouth sounds.
