Lightning flash
Pouring rain
Steeped in the shadows of the night
I walk upon the cobbled street
Unmindful of the cold
That has long ago
Seeped into my bones
The steady stream washes away
The blood from my hands
They leer at me
As I step thro’ the door
And cry and plead
As I pull out my gun
I feel no mercy
For these dregs of the society
They say I look like an angel
So sweet and so pure
But the fact remains
That I’m so cold
I’m Nobody’s Angel
this is my first poem for Undead Poets Society…hope u like it…

The cold, the rain and a cobbled street are great settings to conjure someone called “Nobody’s Angel”. I like this Hoiden.

Loving the cobbled streets, pouring rain…you bring a feeling of place to the reader. The last line cements the narrator’s character. Well done! ~Brenda
