The Puddle and Its Companions

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Richard Walker, Tuesday, 7 Feb 2017, 02:11

Once a summer's rain gently

Formed a puddle, and autumn sent

A leaf to rest there. In winter then

A snowflake was added. It lent

A symmetry more daring and more different.


Such was the three-fold arrangement

They followed until winter went

And with spring's advent

All the symmetry was broken

And spiralled back up to heaven again.


Dissolved, shrivelled, withered, dried

Thus to heaven praise they cried

For they knew that the sun was their parent

Calling them. So willingly they went.
