Morning Storm
8 a.m., driving past Clifton Beach
In this sickly light, a bear lumbers past-
a man, hair windswept.
The grey sea groans, and the sky is resigned
to a paler hue lit up by streaks,
white antlers that drag forth
a rumbling in the belly of the sky.

Rumaisa Maryam Samir was born and raised close to the sea in the city of Karachi, Pakistan. She first discovered poems were fun at the age of eight when she wrote one on her mother for a school assignment. Now nineteen, she wishes she had more time to write in between juggling her studies and internships!
