A Song for Clementine

This is a poem that inspired by an old song that I have not heard for a long time. After watching a certain Korean drama, the melody start to stuck in my head. I looked all over until I found out about the name. The song is "My Darling Clementine". This poem was also inspired one day while I was coming home from class on a rainy day, while singing the song. I hope the reader will be inspired by this poem (or song), after the song have inspired me.

Here is the song:

A Song for Clementine

In a rainy day,
I like to take shelter under the tree
and listen to the downpour.

Sometime I catch myself
humming a soft melody.
I don’t know why,
perhaps it has reminded me
of a lullaby
from my childhood.

A lullaby that have been locked
deep within my memory,
only to be driven out
by the sound of the raindrops.

Who knows...

But it is very warm though,
just sitting here
without my jacket on,

listening to myself humming,
even long after the rain have stop.
