Best Puddles Poems

Sun is held hostage by a blanket of clouds,
reflecting an agitated addict's ashtray.
Birds depart from soaked naked branches,
as eyes seek refuge from the ugliness of change.

I peer beneath this umbrage pitched upon the ground
anticipating a palette of summer to simper back
yet all I see are...

If one mid-summers day

Love came rolling in on a cloud 

I'd gladly say let it rain

And puddle up around my house...

There are many more joys in life than struggles
We must recognize the good times and ignore the troubles
In everyone's life
There's toil and strife
Sure beats the alternative as you skip through life's puddles...

Passages trail the utter existence
along brick faced wanderings
with puddles reflecting death
in the vast wasteland that calls
from bled out dreams

I listen to the footsteps,
eager to please, left by the curb
beneath graffiti warnings
in spray painted quotes
dripping with ease and intent

Their cadence sends 
splashing ripples onto 
nicely pressed...

Ballroom dances delight in rain,
While humdrum glances from windowpane.
Years passed, two scores plus some,
Destroy not, my childhood fun.
Amusement possesses nary a care.
Paltry peasants can don professional wear,
So kick off your leather attitude.
Gift yourself this interlude,
For vanity seeks vanishing laughter.
Waltz the puddles, now and ever after....

We splashed and dashed
We cared no jot
No inhibitions
Or adult rot

The rain was cool
The muddy puddles
No obstacles
No silent troubles

Just joyful freedom
With innocence
No hidden agenda
Or false pretence

I'm not sure when
We made the change
When childhood joy
Crept out of range

Although we've grown
Matured I'd say
In one sense drifted
Too far away..

Beaten
Smashed
Kicked
And splashed
Out into the street
Like dirty bathwater

Nothing more than a filthy puddle
Rising over the curb
Flooding the sidewalk cracks
Eager for evaporation

Every hair
Is On end

Every pore
At attention

Yearning skin
Is stretching for a touch
That never existed
Pulled 
Like the blankets
Of children
Over worried heads
Attempting 
Their Satisfying seclusion

For when there is no...

As music of falling rain’s song can be heard, thunder claps.
Before the clouds break and the sun’s rays come shining through the gray,
the fog lifts with fresh scent of rain and puddles left in silence.

They get off the bus
fresh from their houses
Crisp pink cheeks
Glossy hair
Shoes pristine
Bows in their hair
Smiles for their friends
Smell fresh
Look clean

The day plunks them into puddles
Rolls them around in dirt
Throws them off slides,
watches them twirl onto grassy knolls
Gives them sweet smells of reality
Tastes of earth and...

A spring rain falling
watching him jump in puddles
bright yellow slicker

Triple puddles left after a light rain
Leaving the grey ground to mingle with them
Sees reflections at the cross of this gem
Water so calm it relieves any pain
I approach with a joyous childlike glee
I splash in silver puddles fervently 
The fun I have brings love to...

Tell me, why does God make puddles, in our driveway, when it rains?
Then mom says "play but, don't get dirty, cuz I won't get out the stains"

God made me, to love that feeling, of jumping in them with both feet
I'll send that water flying, maybe...

On the window pane
Are raindrops starting 
Down the window panel
It is a downpour of rain

On the pavement are puddles
They begin small then
Slowly the puddles grow bigger
The air changes quickly

The puddles freezes 
Snow begins to fall
Covering the ground
Quickly with the snow...

as rain extinguished embers
of the long day's city heat
blurred traffic light reflections 
painted puddles on the street....
