I asked my friend

For a poem idea 

She said 

Write a poem about sewer rats

So this is my poem about rats

Squeak

Squeak

Scurrying through the city 

Splish

Splash

In comes the arrival of mud season

Soaking into the ground

Helping the plants just barely beneath the Earth

Drip 

Drop

Precipitation sliding down the windows

As  a child

she would sit alone

always watching the others

playing the day away

while she never had the confidence
