A Puddle

When there is a torrential rain,

A puddle starts to form

And quickly turns into a lake,

Which shouldn’t be the norm.

 

Okay, I do exaggerate –

It’s closer to a pond,

Yet it’s too deep to wade through

If you want to get beyond.

 

This giant puddle (mini-pond)

Is on my walking path

And though I shouldn’t be surprised,

It does incur my wrath.

 

So I must then retrace my steps

And go a different way,

Which is exactly what I did

When on my walk today.
