Polka Dot Imps 

OH, MAN….I hope she finds that pot-o-gold
she moves OK for one so old

From my “leprechaunish” bench
a gentle rain to slowly quench

soft thunder clapping a cappella
while staying dry ‘neath my umbrella.

Short legs support an impish grin
under a polka dotted whim

of rainbow’s end and colored arc
spanning the realms of light and dark,.

The thrill of finally catching me
rewarded when you set me free.

Upon a bench an elf so short
under a cone of polka dot

I really hope she finds that gold
as ancient myths grow slowly old

protected by the story tellers
red and white polka dot umbrellas.

    Excellent imagery, John, I can just see that little imp beneath one of those big red mushrooms with the white spots. So nicely done. Love and hugs, Catie :-)
