. . . gray mist whiffs low
egret, buffalo's back
weeds green, mud black . . .
mud, first sign of spring
earth's pudding bubbling with life
tiny buds simmer

Catfish lies in mud.
He slithers through slimy swamp.
Ah! Breakfast is here!

Justice needs moderation
Voices' dialed-down modulation
When the mob screams for blood
The Rule of Law's dragged through the mud
Feet
stick
on soil
just like knives
screaming homicide
to a burdened inspector man;
the earth is murdering my ankles, and I like it.
red breasts aurora
a round busy worms eating
into the thick mud

MUD
water
mixed with dirt
in early childhood
on my knees happily
I formed mud pies with my hand
“the outdoors was my first kitchen”
It's a yummy chocolate bath
What joy to play in slushy mud ~
Mom said to have fun !

Mud
first sign
of spring thaw
slippery worms
dance with the robins
nestlings calling
the cadence
slow step
squish

Fell into a mud puddle
trees are laughing just now
birds falling from their nest
thinking it funny.
As for me, maybe it is
mud puddles are always
where you step.

bone idle 'hippo'
wallowing in self pity
least your mud bath’s free!

Stuck in the Mud
Dr. James E. Martin
©March, 2014
The wheels continue to spin,
My patience is growing thin.
So here I sit,
Having a bit of a fit,
Not going where I sometimes have been.
birds building their nests
houses of mud twigs and leaves
hungry morning tweets

rolled in it whenever he could

God made Man-Mud
Man is like mud
molded like clay water dirt
yet a soul/spirit
a breath of life encrypted
molded clay God creates life

Elmer Fudd chose one day on a lark
to go looking through mud. In the dark,
he got swept to the sea.
Most unfortunately,
he found naught but the bite of a shark!

Gigantic Flood Followed By Mud
It is Sunday again.
God had given us a gigantic flood;
Water would recede then much mud;
Sand was seen;
Then grass green;
Found it followed by a flowering bud.
Jim Horn
frenzied mud dauber
porch railings are no longer
we are the killers
he bores hole in post
angry about the railings
what will they call home
will he sound alarm
will army wasps come to fight
dejected he leaves
Foggy
Moggy
Soggy
Froggy
Moggy doggy is somewhat foggy
Plays in soggy mud, comes back froggy

Poetry Contest: Your Turn For A Tyburn
Sponsored by: Charles Messina
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
Mud
The Mud
Is the earth's black congealing blood
Rising above from the flood
Nature's pottery clay
The worm's die cursing
Into the Seagulls beak
As the tide retreats
Under sodden sock's and granny feet
Slush, slosh, marching in the goo,
Put on your boots and I'll march with you!
Squish, squash, making funny noise,
Mud was made for us girls and boys!
Slush, slosh, marching in the goo,
Doo doo-doo doo doo-dee, doo doo dee-doo!
I stepped in a puddle
of mud. It was in a rut in
the road.
It splashed on my pant leg and
I couldn't clean it up up by hand.
I was angry. I wasn't too much hurt.
Today. I came back. The sun had been
shining and now it is just dirt.
CREATURE of this heart of sad water, i cannot
imagine O limpid emotion! The willow screams
the forest brings eaten silence of long rose-
reeds. My heart ed fast: its deep anchor
buried inside ancient mud.

What could be more fun
than a couple rolls in the mud?
Come out and play ~
We could have fun all day!
We'll finish off with a garden hose
to clean the mud from between our toes.
