Debbie Guzzi Poet Free verse

Slush

Like a mouth full to drooling,
the day sucks boots and tires 
sloshing remnants of Winter debris
beside the slush filled paths.

Dreary beyond hope of snowballs
Dangerous beyond the pristine slip of skate.
No possible good emotion can come
would dare revel in the mess.

With half frozen tears the sky drapes
the barren maples striving without hope.
Longing for a more lucid day where
upturned lips hold tulip kisses.

Samir Georges March 1, 2010 at 8:09 PM ah slush, not quiet as fun as snow, as satisfying as that crunch of ice under your boots, nor as comforting as the budding of flowers come spring days. Well said Deb, well said indeed.

Andrea Dietrich February 23, 2010 at 2:44 PM Deb, just got your fun congratulations to me. thanks so much. I was AMAZED> I could only dream I would even make the winner's circle but to get first in something I do not even really write, like haiku, that really surprises me! I LOVE your slush poem. Did you know I did one called Slush Day recently?? We were both inspired by that damn slush, weren't we? I like better the way YOU expressed it though. LUv, andrea
