Mudlarks

Oh honey I'm sure we are sinking the tides coming in I am thinking but then love is above all did I hear a love bird call? No it’s the mud in my eye winking. © Harry J Horsman 2020

I really like your poem. The style- so clear and condensed, yet very interesting at the same time. Simplicity can still stimulate our imagination as well.

Hello Harry … When I read your title Harry, I thought your limerick may have been about the very common Aussie bird called the mudlark, but you limerick is much more interesting than these birds - thanks Harry - Lindsay

Hi Harry, you and your Honey were as happy as a lark in mud! But sinking slowly, still in a love trance, realized it was your eye winking with the mud in it - and that you were truly sinking, and fast it seems. A great fun poem, made me laugh, glad you didn't sink more! Blessings, Jennifer.

Sinking in mud does not sound fun - unless you're a mudlark!

Haha, good one ,Harry. When I was very young, my little sister and I were walking on the ocean, * Padre Island In Corpus Christi* , but close to the beach. One step I was find next step I sunk. I was never frighten in my life as I was that day.
