Poem I wrote :)

well, this was a school project to write a poem,

Its based on this painting by Edward hopper

NightHawks Edward hopper
By Rachel S

The Air conditioner hums.
The Radio blares Frank Sinatra,
The lone man puffs a 5 cent cigar,
A lady sits in her red dress,
Full of memories from the last date,
Now with a broken heart she looks at her nails,
Next to a man she's stopped talking to.
Theres a lull in the conversation,
Everything's been said,
The weather has been observed,
The politics of the day have been discussed.
The wail of a siren is heard a few blocks away,
One can guess it's another crook on the loose.
The lone man on the other side sits,
His coffee mug empty,
Holding a ciggerette, studying the inscriptions on it,
The man behind the counter looks up a moment,
He knows all the people who come in,
At late night, carrying all their sorrows,
He's thankful, cause he's got a family,
Who loves him,

Now the time? they don't know,
Why would they want to?
Morning will come soon enuagh
With the same routine?
