rusty puddles

rain comes down upon the range,

and something strange befuddles

all the people passing through:

the sight of rusty puddles.

in all those pools of opaque orange,

an iron oxide’s found–

it seeps into the water here

up from the rusty ground.

and yes, year after year, that rust

into our world seeps;

perhaps someday we’ll rust away–

i’ve heard it never sleeps.

  1. I’m having Internet trouble. Hope you haven’t gotten the same message from me several times. I love today’s photo and words. The puddle looks like our Alabama red clay puddles. I look forward to your words and photos each day. You intrigue me. Happy wanderings!
