I AM A PUDDLE

I AM A PUDDLE

THE DARK CLOUDSĀ 
COME IN IT STARTS
RAIN THE THUNDERĀ 
LIGHTING AND NOWĀ 
I AM A PUDDLE IĀ 
CUDDLE THE ROAD
SIDE LIKE HOLDINGĀ 
A BABY PLEASEĀ 
DONT DRIVE THROUGH
ME AND SLASH ME
ITS LIKE BLOODĀ 
FROM MY VEINSĀ 
THE CLOUDSĀ 
CLEAR AND ITS
NIGHT TIME AND THE
MOON SHINES ON ME
AND DAY LIGHT COMES
AND SUN COMS OUT
AND DRYS ME OUTĀ 
I AM JUST ANOTHER WET SPOT
ON THE ROAD INTILL IT RAINS
AGIN WINTER IS COMEINGĀ 
AND DARK CLOUDS COME
IN IT STARTS SNOW WITHĀ 
ICE AND THE WIND BLOWS
NOW I AM A ICE PUDDLEĀ 
PLEASE DONT WALK ONĀ 
ME OR I WILL BRAKE
AND THEN I WILL BE IN
PIECES THE SUN CAME OUTĀ 
MELTED ME NOW I AM
JUST ANOTHER WET SPOTĀ 
I AM PUDDLEĀ

Greg superb to read and get carried along with and captivated by your well chosen words and enthralling imagination.
A puddle yes but a poetic and entertainingly heartfelt one at that.
Full honours given and deservedly so.

Greg I loved this so much. I took the puddle as an analogy for how fragile we can be. So much emotion within this write. Just loved your use of nature here. Beautifully worded my wonderful poetic friend šŸ“Œā­ļø
