PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was late for school

In 1972

Walking along Leslie Street

I stopped to watch

Leaves gracefully fall

And

Paint the sidewalk

red, brown and yellow

And

I knelt beside

A puddle rippling outward

from drops of rain

And

Saved worms

Carried by a twig

To the grass

And

I had to go home and change

My socks and shoes

Because they got wet.
