‘24 Contemplation: Nature Sijo

A Spring Sun Shower

it rained while the sun was out and it 
pooled on the sidewalk
splash! Sun jumped into the middle and
swayed to the rhythm of the wind 
and not far from all that commotion,
frogs hastening to join in

      We never grow out of that, right. This puddle would have frozen your toes though. The rain is cold.

      But no worries if you wear your galoshes… splashing.
