Boots In The Mud

A poem by Delaney | 11/26/2008
"Slap, slap," says
the rain on my window
"Slap, slap," say
my boots in the mud
"Stay and cry
"Tears of joy in the wetness
"Stay and cry,"
says the great gray sky
"Go home," says
the flirty bit o' sunlight
"Go home," says
the rain in my hair
"Go away," say
I to my common sense
"Slap, slap," say
my boots as I run.

Thank you! :)

@Anna - Thanks, I like it too. I love looking at Fairy Tale Illustrations. :)

Well I agree with you both, so there. I like the picture, and the poem is great.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.- Audrey Hepburn
