When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles
Pooh Bear
Tap, Tap, Tap
Goes the child against the door
Drip, Drip, Drip
Raindrops roll from coat to floor
Wag, Wag, Wag
Tail of the eager dog
Great, big, sigh
This is going to be a slog
Please, please, please
Says the one who can barely talk,
Even in this weather?
Looks like we’re going for a walk
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
Goes the Invasive wind
Splash, splash, splash
The child and dog grin
Thud, thud, thud
Throbs my beating heart
Smile, smile, smile
Happiness is an art.
Regardless of the weather and whether you’ve been home all day or just walked in, a walk is always welcome in our house, especially a walk with puddles. My little guy and the four-legged old lady both conquered the puppy dog eyes long ago. They have no regard for an imposition the wet walk may cause. However, often those two know better and after we’re home dried and snuggled back under a blanket, I too must succumb to the notion that the walk was a good idea.

Magical!
Aww thank you, Peter, that’s very kind. KL ❤
Love this KL. I was right there with you. A publishable piece. Maybe even a Children’s book!
Thank you, Marsha. That’s a really kind compliment. I was struggling with this one a little this week but my tiny boss and his four-legged companion inspired me. 🙂 KL ❤
Treasures, all of them, KL.
Love it, you’ve really captured the moment. I recall many long wet walks with my departed Pippa. She hated the rain, but nothing stopped her walk 😊
Aww that’s lovely, what kind of dog was Pippa? My old boy that passed away a few years ago was a rough collie (Lassie style dog) and he needed a lot of long walks regardless of the weather. Millie, our little dog now is 17 so happy with a shorter/slower walk which suits the toddler too. 🙂 KL ❤
Pippa was a rescue dog, so a bit of everything, but she was simply adorable. It was really hard as we lost both of our dogs within 12 days.
I love this KL. Excellent
Thank you, Sadje. Very kind. KL ❤
You’re welcome my friend
KL, this was just what I need after a long day–delightful in every way–BRAVO!!!
That’s such a lovely comment to hear, Zelda, thank you. I was struggling a little with this week’s prompt but got a sudden burst of inspiration :). KL ❤
Oh it was amazing and wonderful, a day brightener! I’m SO glad I found you through the blogging world–sometimes we just stumble onto someone we didn’t know we were missing 🙂 ❤ Life's good–blessings to you!
A very good post
Thank you, Henrietta, that’s very kind. KL ❤
You are welcome
Love this “so happy poem.” Nothing better than rain, puddles, children and puppies!
So lovely 🥰
