Bucket (WOTDC)

~ JezzieG

Inspired by and written for the Word of the Day Challenge – my thanks to Cyranny

Definition: Bucket – n. a roughly cylindrical open container with a handle, made of metal or plastic and used to hold and carry liquids

Form: Lunka

a shiny bucket
waiting for water
the well stands empty
until rain
pail shadows
downpours of summer
shiny bucket full
carry it on home
a small hole
no water
a leaky bucket
alone in the shed
they bought a new one
in corners
shadows pale

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
