Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

- Summer Rain and Mud -

Would like to turn back time to
                            jump in the puddles and make mud cakes
                         Extensive gray clouds of rain follow the horizon
                                             day out and day in
                               Percussion drums quietly on the window
                                I'm waiting for the perfect time of day
                                       to stretch my butterfly wings

                                            Perhaps tomorrow
                                            Paint me a picture
                                              sing me a song
                               of soft heartbeats in the summer wind
                                 Color me a sky with shades of pink
                             before I go back down into my rabbit hole
                                           and listens to the rain

Jennifer Proxenos July 11, 2021 at 10:49 AM A CUTE YET SPECTACULAR WRITE MY DEAR FRIEND - I LOVE THE WAY YOU PRESENT A CHILD'S LOVE OF PLAYING WITH WATER AND MUD AND SAND WHICH TAKES US BACK TO OUR YEARS WHEN WE DID EXACTLY THE SAME AND ENJOYED THE FEEL OF MUD ON OUR HANDS AND FEET. I THINK YOUR PIC IS PRICELESS, JUST OUTSTANDING AND SO CUTE. KUDOS DEAR ANNE LISE. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER.

David Mchattie July 8, 2021 at 7:34 PM After a summer rain... my son and I would drive around looking for puddles that he could walk in.
