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.

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.

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
