John Lawless Poet Tetractys

Notes About The Poem

I have lived in the city all my life and have always been amazed by the calm and beauty of puddled city streets after a cleansing rain.  The moon dancing happily upon each puddle.

City Puddles - For Contest

CITY PUDDLES


Calm
ripples
awaiting
sunset lover’s
reflection on a puddled city street
