Puddles

Posted on June 9, 2015 | 16 Comments

It rained for a long time
Just over two years
Then, gradually, it stopped

The rain still comes, sometimes
I’m usually prepared
I see it coming

The puddles though
They appear out of nowhere
And their depth can still take me by surprise.

This is just gorgeous. It gave me goosebumps the first time I read it, then I read it again and it made my eyes fill with tears. There’s something about your poetry that taps into something in me. Wow. Thanks so much for linking this to #whatImwriting
