Raining day
through the dark clouds in the sky
shower rained
to go home
had to climb two mountains
crossing a reservoir
passing a town
had to cross the river
I picked a large pumpkin leaf from the fence
near the school
on the head
carrying the booklet on right shoulder
ran. mother suffered when clothes got wet
from the rain, hard rain
father had to make more money
when books and notebooks got wet and torn
I had no choice but to run
at same point a pumpkin leave flew away
a stream of hard rain ran down with tears
wet cheeks
running down neck
soaking pant and socks
children giggled
when I couldn't solve math problems
teacher laughed with a gentle smile alone
I was sad. I did well.
I trembled because of her eyes in the front row
looking into my eyes
I am still shaking
I have to run run faster
I still remember the day I ran home in the rain.
