A Poem by SummerSnow

A gathering storm
Behind her eyes
An answer to
A new surprise

His phone had buzzed
Put down her book
She picked it up
And took a look

There on the phone
A naked pic
Her fury rose
Another chick

The storm had built
To a fevered pitch
She had to know
Who is this b***h

She brought the phone
To where he was
Before she got there
Another buzz

“I’m so embarrassed”
The new text read
“That pic was meant
For my boyfriend Fred”

Back to her room
And somewhat shamed
She hurried back
Before he came

She placed the phone
Back in its stand
Storm subsided
Book back in hand
