Bucket Feet

My feet were shaped like buckets
that sloshed when I walked.
We had a good rain and water followed me.
I dripped on people’s carpets
and they saw me splattering
from a distance.
At least the ducks could splash
in the puddles I left behind.

I also like to draw and paint in my spare time.
