John Lawless Poet Etheree

MUD

Mud
Ice cold
Slithering
Squishy welcome
Tickled by the worms
Softening Winter’s edge
Cheering the Jonquils sunrise
Awakening the pond turtles
Harbinger of Spring’s latent beauty
Soothing the hands of early gardeners

Hilda Greenhough February 16, 2024 at 8:24 PM The first poem of mud I've heard. It is a good poem and just in time to ready the gardens.
