Misty Rain Over Delaware River Poem

By Nhien Nguyen Md

As soon as I woke up, I watched the sky.
It was six thirty in the morning with falling misty rain.
Weather forecast predicted the rain would fall the whole day
The sun didn’t rise yet and golden lights shone on rain mists.
Gray Franklin bridge and its lights appeared blurred in the rain
At day break, the bridge traffic was busy in both directions.
On Camden river bank, night lights coldly shone.
Over the long river, million scales of golden lights glittered
There was a barge in the middle of the river
Its bright beams danced on waving glittering water.
Then, several hours later
By chance, I looked out on the river
Misty rain was still falling
Camden was under shroud of mists and Delaware river covered by misty clouds.
