SPLASH HAPPINESS
18 February 2011

A car passed
and the roadside puddle
lit up in laughter
and tossed a thousand liquid diamonds
into the sunlight
in a joyous prayer
of gratitude.

Oh Diana ... this is the poem that I am ending my lazy Saturday morning with.  I love this.  And in the spring, I love to drive through the deepest puddles that I can find.  And if I am not driving .. I love to splash in them!

Thank you.  Love this.

Alison, I love your reply!  Thank you.  I am glad you enjoyed this so much.  

Me too, I love driving through, but especially splashing in puddles, but haven’t had – or made – the opportunity to splash in them for a long time!  I should do something about that.
