My Burning Feet Poem by Cindy H

My Burning Feet

My feet are on fire
But the water's not hot
Could it be frost bite?
That my poor feet have got?

The water is warm
Just right for me
Yet my feet are still burning
How could this be?

The house has a chill
And it's freezing outside
A shower I took
To warm my hide

The water is off
My clothes now on
My feet are still burning
What has gone wrong?

Two pairs of socks
And my fuzzy slippers too
What else is there
For my poor feet to do?

Slowly now
The warm feeling appears
My feet feeling better
Now what about my cold ears?
