Wet Day

Wrote this one in my poetry group a few weeks back, been meaning to add it for a while.

Children, like otters, splash

grey puddled tears

spilling while grownups scurry

umbrellas raised to the sky

and feet tiptoed dry

shouting

"you'll catch

your

death!"

this is a very delicate tapestry of sight and sound. i loved the opening similie and the image 'feet tiptoed dry,' in fact the whole poem felt very playful. fantastic.

Aw, thank you. I wasn't sure on this one to be honest, it's the first poem I've written in years that I actually wrote using a pen and paper instead of the keyboard. ;) Glad to hear you enjoyed it, though!
