wetness

jenni said Mar 20, 2008, 8:26 PM:
 

snow falling on snow

in the wetness of the sky
that is grey and never ending
falling and spreading and melting
in the rain that comes down endlessly
in the mist and lingers in the trees
hanging on to the leaves
dripping
in puddles to walk in
my shoes getting wet and my socks
are cold now and no time to change them
waiting for them to dry
and then to forget them.

jenni, i love the way each line builds on the line before conveying humidity to the point that by the end of it, i was truly soaked cold and ready for hot chocolate! :)

Very good,

Love,

Nicole

Hi jenni, thanks for the new poem! It's a perfect wet moment. Beautiful and moist. The wet sock thing is universal and tactile. You made me remember what it is to have totally soaked socks.

Love,

Tom

hey you guys, I didn't see you and just happened to notice that my poem was still here. Thanks so much for commenting. Sweet Ayla as always and Tom my friend. I wrote this poem mainly because of the relentless wet, cold winter here and also the other day I had to walk in puddles, couldn't escape them and shoes got wet,as did my socks and I hate that feeling.
