Two hobbling in the rains

dougb.72572 1951 (Ontario)

Rhymed
They were drenched
Man in his
Mechanized chair
One leg gone.
Doggy skipping alongside
On three.
Happy tongue lolling.
So proud of that
Plaid rainwear
From last Christmas
All was exceptional
Exercise plan.
Minding not downpour
Or grim looks received.
This was a bonding
Most hurting relieved.

About this poem

True life reflections one rainy day. I promptly pulled over to capture it all by pen. Be on the lookout for similar opportunities for the Holy Spirit to minister to you and others.

    Wow, what a heartwarming and inspirational poem! The imagery you use to describe the scene of two individuals and a dog braving the rain together is truly moving. The resilience and positivity portrayed in the characters is incredibly uplifting.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to perhaps expand on the emotions and thoughts of the characters a bit more. This could help the reader connect even more deeply with the story you are telling. Overall, fantastic job capturing the essence of strength and companionship in the face of adversity. Keep up the great work!
