Boots (Haiku iterations)

by Paganini Jones






walking in the rain
but my best-loved boots
leak




OR




raining
my favourite boots
leak




OR





puddle jumping but my favourite boots leak

Author's Note:
I'm uncertain - the first version 'feels' too long. But the second, though more haiku-like loses the sense of loving to walk in the rain shifting to the discomfort and slight loss of them starting to leak (and needing to be replaced/repaired?) Is the third iteration, without the actual rain better, or just different? I do think the 'but' adds something and is needed. And though it wasn't intentional, I prefer prefer the lack of line breaks

The use of "puddle jumping" makes me think the writer enjoys being out in the rain more than the other two versions. Perhaps, "favorite boots leaking........ something, something", etc. ;)
