Annabelle and I
Walk together
In the rain

She steps with me
Left foot first
Right foot follows

Why do we walk like this?
She says to me

Maybe we can skip or
Splash in puddles.

Let’s have fun with our feet today!

We’re always so boring
You’re getting old

And what about the Apostles
Didn’t Jesus
Wash their feet?

I nod to her
I like Annabelle’s
Rain boots

They keep me from running

Kicking
For something greater than
Little Annabelle

Her questions and accusations

She is Love out here
In the pouring rain


------
"If you get a feeling next time you see me
Do me a favor and let me know
'Cos it's hard to tell
It's hard to say
Oh well, okay"
Elliott Smith

My Annabelle's
Hiya

My Annabelle loves walking with me rain hail or shine... I always wash her feet when we get home too if they are wet and muddy

She has four feet so thats a double whammy....

BTW My Annabelle is a a GSP with a sister Lucy

Thats eight feet.... err nearly a yard!

Believe me they are yards ahead of me if they run

Annabelle's Rain Boots
I said I would never comment on a poem, but I guess it's ok as long as I don't talk about structure and cadence and whatever else I don't understand. This moved me so much, actually brought tears to my eyes. And now I find out it's your rain boots. You will look back on this someday, when you have your first little Annabelle, as a prophetic sort of thing. Remember then too, your insight, take time to like her rain boots then, let them slow you down and keep you from running for something more important than her (job, money, housework, whatever). My favorite poem, thanks. Robert.

Thank you robnjop
I really appreciate your comment Robert. I dont understand the forms and styles of poetry either, i write just to get thought and emotion out there in the universe.
It means a lot to me to know how deeply effected you were by this piece.
Thank you for sharing.
