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.

    Gosh, I love the metaphor Rachael. Totally resonates with me too. So much conveyed in so few words-my kind of poetry x
