Trowbridge, a Tanka

grey skies drop gruel
shoppers shelter in the shires
drinking weather, spoons
whatever, raining, trowbridge 
pea soup puddled county town

Two Lenses

On man-made wings, the thrill of flight,
when a window seat was youth's delight.  

Now, high in sky, I’m puddled in dread.
With feet firm on the ground, I tread.

Wanderer

WANDERER



There comes a day when
Those weather clouds damp 
With dusk setting in, 
When the puddled dirt road  
With hesitant drizzle,    
When the weed-filled ditch,  
Look the same;
But feel like home again.

Yard Work

Yard Work Written: by Miracle Man 5/13/2024 The morning has started with a drizzle falling, my name, the tall grass, seems to be calling. But a puddled yard, makes mowing hard, and daily rains have made mowing appalling.

Slush Day

(a 7-5 Trochee)

Snow falls down; then comes the rain.
Wet flakes fall and drown
when that rain, like a refrain
once again comes down.

Then I step onto the street.
There's no snow to crush.
Mere shoes don't protect one's feet
from cold puddled slush!

Done

Please ...


                    Waste no spin on my heart's needs


Pay no thought for how it bleeds


                    Expend no mind, its ebbing beat


What's left is puddled at your feet


                    Just dip your fingers - find a wall


And make goodbye ...


                    A bloody scrawl.

It's Snowing Again By Gumm

It's snowing again by gumm.
Thought we had Jack Frost on the run.
It keeps melting and freezing,
I'm coughing and sneezing,
Early Spring in the North sure ain't fun.

The snow is a wet, sloppy mess,
And it puts my good humor to test.
When I go for a walk,
On the puddled sidewalk,
And slip down on the ice I ain't blessed.

Befuddled

The lighting, it was over bright Revealing dark red blood puddled She lay slumped, her soul in flight The lighting, it was over bright Exposing a play she did write Letters of a name befuddled The lighting, it was over bright Revealing dark red blood puddled

In Moonlight's Rising Tide

Listen to poem:
Adrift in dreams while romance reading
Asleep e're night shadows began creeping 
She lay puddled in moonlight's rising tide— 
Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' at her side

In reverie, Elizabeth stood on the misty moor 
for what seemed to her a lifetime of waiting
Held her breath when in front of her he stood
Sighing as Darcy brushed a gentle kiss on her lips

Errosia

I swung my mini fridge door wide 
Revealing tiny porridge pops and coke
They puddled the shelfs dripping down, 
Sticky little oats and fructose 

The mess muddied my socks
Soaking my bow and sole
Like a beach of sweaty skittles
Carried by the melting rocks

I raised my knee to my shoulder
To watch sludge fall and splat
Ingraining my mess in the carpet 
Compelling my toes to stretch

Whispers of Rain on Christmas Day

The sky unwraps a silver veil,
Each drop a hymn, so soft, so pale,
As rain begins its tender play.

It drapes the earth in crystal lace,
With every bead, a sweet embrace,
A gentle calm on Christmas Day.

The lights reflect in puddled grace,
Like stars descended, face to face,
In every splash, a dream will stay.

Oh, how I love the rain's refrain,
Its hush more pure than caroled strain,
A holy hush where hearts can pray.

Old Girl Down

Old Girl Down

One step after another took the old girl down
Rain, asphalt black answered back
Cold shoes, wet feet, puddled deep
Overhead dark clouds settle in 
The forecast called for more of the same
Women and fossils should not be out in this
Sounds splash hard off echoed solid streets
Gray tall buildings went by one after another
When will it end when there is no end in sight
One step after another took the old girl down

A Melted Snowball

One cold winter day, I formed a great big snowball
as big as it could be with my tiny hands.
I pressed it very tightly, mittens on!
Proud I was of it. It looked so grand!
Home I went to store my snowball
in the freezer. My brother,
befuddled, took it out.
It melted so small
as it lay there
on the floor -
puddled!
