Jake’s Ice Puddles
When you live
in sunny Georgia
It may be difficult
to remember snow.
Feeling unfamiliar
with icy cold days
In January of your
thirteenth year, I know
When in the car
discussing flakes and
Blustery winds
your school didn’t quite get closed
But you said happily
“We could still see some ice puddles.”
in the car as we drove
Home on clean dry roads
“They hadn’t melted yet
and we had fun cracking them up.
Our feet got cold
but we didn’t care, oh no.”
And I cracked up
behind the wheel
Laughed so hard I could hardly drive
what I all my life had known
As patches of ice…boring term, yes
you brought to life new images
In just two words for me
ice puddles…so cute, and you, so sweet and apropos.
