Oh lovely puddle
Your depths do befuddle
Small ponds on the road
I run to collect my umbrella and coat
Grateful for my boots
As I walk over rain-soaked roots
Ready to make a splash
Playing until the first lightning flash
Through the streets, we run
Puddle jumping is the most fun
Splashing without a care
Our giggles and shouts fill the air
The clouds now sunder
With one last crack of thunder
Out comes the sun
And our day in the rain is now done

Delightful! Brought back memories from 40 years ago… splashing home from work in ankle deep water and rain bucketing down 💙
A fun read, and fitting (it was raining cats and dogs here earlier!)
That was fun to read. It made me jealous and want to partake in the rain as well, lol.
I can't relate because I've never jumped in a puddle hahahaha. Blame that on having strict parents, lol. But now as an adult, I get why I wasn't allowed to do that hahahahaha. Your poem was so fun and I loved the way it rhymed! 🥰🥰🥰 As for that AI tag, Justin has clarified that using Grammarly, Pro Writing, etc is not considered as AI-Generated. I saw his replies to the comments on his piece. Hang on, I think he replied that to you as well. But maybe you already published this before he replied
Oh I've not done this in ages.
When I saw the title in my notifications
Sorry, I'm all about the sunshine.
Oh very fun! I was out for a walk with a friend last year in my ankle-tall hunters and saw a puddle. My friend, she pointed it out with a laugh, and I could only respond with "wahoo!" before jumping in :) And I for one, hope I never grow up!
The first lines made me burst out laughing 😆 love it!!!
Raffi, call your office... Seriously, I still do this and pretend it was an accident (being an adult is sometimes no fun at all). Thank you for this!
