Spring waters my feet...

Stifling stickiness release
Sudden summer storm...

Orange fluttering from the arms
Of the tree, descending to 
The Earth, swallowed by the 
Brown, trodden upon,
Sodden to the core...

sodden vapors cling
drench my soul with thoughts of you
leaden in the night

Cobwebs,
settle on my tongue, 
lines of sodden caramel, 
stick in their formation, clapping,
to each considered fiction,
protruding from,
my gum.

If too much grog has left you foggy,
Your sodden noggin grimly groggy,
So much sauce, your socks are soggy,
Loving you still, will be your doggy....

This is a nostalgic trip,
Once milk bottles let it rip,
Forced milk to scoff,
Some days it was really off,
Then for lunch sandwich sodden,
Tomato, cheese, hot or rotten....

woven
        words
fabrcated,
degenerate
     as
         driftwood-
sodden
stained
weaving
wavering
         silent
         shadows
foredoomed,
lost
in
the infinite...

fucshia azalea
                                           clings limply to sodden branch --

post drizzle-logged
morning trek;
leaky boots
puddle splashed
sodden socks
peeled in a pile
by the door;
coffee's pot's
pungent pull
awaits
post dried off
head and
towelled feet....

A soul stands so alone
sodden, trodden, left so reft
darkening shadows
amidst dim streetlights, now angst
what was before, is now never

Coast

Fog bank

Shrouded cliffs

Mysterious

Cyprus trees lean inland against their will

Moisture drips like tears from sodden branches

Lichen on rocks

Seagulls swoop

Waves pound

Wind...

Dahlia petals on the lawn,
dew-sodden in the October dawn

Michelmas daisies,limp and old
amidst faded leaves,now spotted gold

Bright bonfire-coloured leaves all aglow,
in Acer Palmantum's Autumn show....

Half sunk in peat and sodden moss,
redundant, clutching at the sky.
Rough stones nearby tell of a loss
long past. We look and can but try
to see beyond this relic on the hill
and hear the plaintive echoes still....

fiery flames above 
a pool of sodden sulfur ~
sorry souls in blaze 

dire spirits shout loud 
extreme excruciation ~
echoes endlessly

Lace waves lap tender shore
Brush away layered sand
Erode this sodden land
Revealing something raw

A hypnotic deep trance

Horizon shrouded day
Clouds tumbling away
As the salty waves dance

As the salty waves dance...

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...

A young man in a brand-new red Ford pickup
Is said to have had very, very bad luck
Driving it rather hard,
Through a neighbor’s front yard,
The yard turned into a sodden muddy muck.

The magic gem of curly hair,
Procures itself in sodden downpour.
Frizz retracts and curls define,
Revitalised by heaven's moisture.
No brolly required.
No wind-swept locks.
A long-awaited makeover,
Of the most natural kind.

Delicate purity
Softly pallid
None akin
Of affection and beauty
Chilling 

Seraphic tears 
Wept
Sodden snippets
Of yesterdays 
Monochrome
Reminders 
Without order
Devolving back
To nothingness

Amorous and beautiful
But so cold...

Living on the river is fine if she will deliver
Most of the time she is a benevolent caregiver
But she has her abrupt fits of anger and frustration
Resulting in a sudden, sodden over hydration
But that suits me just fine and I will always forgive her...

Frothing, Churning
The liquid inside me
Tries to Escape
I stay closed
And toss about
My Load all the more.
The weight of the Load
Made of sodden fabrics
Is nothing compared
To my Strength
I toss about mercilessly
Soaking, Tumbling,
I am undefeated.
What Am I?...
