during the day
the sidewalks
become home to
puddles
and i find my
imagination
drifting
into the scenes
stored inside
their muddy brown bodies
and so
imagine
my boyish joy
when
one evening
i found myself
walking alongside
a man o' war
its masts
and rigging
grazing the
march sky

May that child-like imagination never flee!
You have such a wonderful imagination, Steven, to see such a grand sight in an ordinary pot hole filled with water. How clever you are.
kathleen - i treasure it! steven
hello elisabeth - i think everyone has the capacity for child-like wonder and appreciation of this world (and others)! steven
Wow - there it was - waiting for you to slip aboard and sail away!
Oh yes, I see it too!
Happy Easter Steven to you and yours.
Ahoy! Anchors aweigh! We have oceans to cross!
REflections reveal alternate worlds. They are never exactly the same as what they are allegedly reflecting.
I love what you see, Steven, and that you share it with us.
Worlds within worlds within worlds. I love that!
This is even better than cloud gazing .... (which at the age of 68 I still do)
so cool steven. I've been so busy and so behind on visiting my blogs. these are just wonderful.

dan you're a sailor. i've been on one forty footer - railing in the sea, jenny billowing, it was wicked!!! i have to dream even if it's looking into the reflections of a puddle. have a lovely easter weekend. steven
reya - i learned to see into puddles from you. i saw but i didn't see. worlds within worlds - yes. then worlds beyond that. then nothing. i'm so glad to be able to share this with you. steven
You are so much fun!

Hey, I can see that. Very imaginative Steven. I would never have noticed it without your pointing it out.
super cool! i'm glad your imagination has remained in tact. you made me use my imagination to see what you are seeing. i love it!
