Poem: Stomp and Splash

 Stomp and Splash

Sadness drops in uninvited

sometimes,

hanging around like a wet raincoat,

dripping on the floor,

puddling at your feet,

making a mess of things,

sadness

here’s what to do,

pull on galoshes,

plant your feet,

stomp and splash

‘til nothing’s left

‘cept a small reflection

of your smile

in a tiny drop 

of sadness.
