Premium Member Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Like crystal tears, soft petals dance and gleam, While dewdrops stitch stars on morning's silken dream. Each blossom spins gold wisdom from earth's mud, As heaven's jewels birth dawn's awakening bud. Bud blooms like the sun breaking through midnight's veil. Mud cradles pearls where phoenix tales prevail. Dream waters mirror souls...

Mud Season
The driveway is now a swamp of wet muck, I fear driving any car but the truck, without four-wheel drive, you’re gonna get stuck; oh mud season has arrived. The snow is melting, half-flooding the ground, to step on the sound brings a squelching sound, all sorts of fallen branches have been found; oh mud season has arrived. The ski hill is empty,...

To Frost: Regarding The Diverging Paths
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood….” Robert, You let the split remain unresolved, and while we stand in awe, staring at your crossroads etched in gold and shadow, do you ever wonder what lay beyond the path you did not take? Even though you say, “I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.” Did the road arch upward, an unfamiliar melody...

The grown Dove searches for mud
The grown Dove searches for mud to disparage its mother who granted them this pure white. Lord endow me with divine purpose, help dry this dirt on the earth a brown ocean, swelling, percolating. A window pane snaps from the pressure I remember the day I was born. I weep, I weep, I weep. A bird scurries ‘round my neck it is a little pigeon it...

Rainbow ribbons in her hair Playing in the grass with no care Making mud pies in the dirt Skinny dipping in July no pants no shirt Playing hide and seek football too Finger painting pictures under sky blue Racing the wind playing in the rain Singing favorite songs pretending to have fame Riding in the back of an old pickup truck No seatbelt there...

Silk stocking filled with mud was Talleyrand. With the future of France held in his hand, He played kibitzer-informed cards with skill, Maneuvering a Congress to his will. There once was a Marquis named Talleyrand, Who loved ladies and a fine sarabande Smarts from ladies gained as a teen Helped him escape the guillotine, Surviving four regimes as he had planned. Vested in priestly...

Premium Member Where I grew up
Your heart remains in the same place where its memories belong to.- quote by author Small, close and warm neighborhood. Only a few children inventing toys to play with or games to play at. Old stone houses on muddy roads, surrounded by bustling farms and a beautiful, wild nature. Days of happiness that enriched my past and enlarged...
