Ode to Puddles

Splash!

Icy fingers caress my legs

I watch as mud beads up on my boots

The sun peeks out behind the clouds

Light reflects off the glassy surface

I see my face looking back at me

Tears stain my cheeks

I can’t help but smile at the image I see

The bright, shiny boots and the sad little

Thank you grey clouds for the puddle to jump in

Thank you sun for wiping away my tears
