Autumn

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

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.

Nostalgic Trip

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

Wet Mornings

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.

Premium Member High Cloined, Arran

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.

Hell

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

dire spirits shout loud 
extreme excruciation ~
echoes endlessly

Wavedance

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
Form: Verse

Mud Blood Potter

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

Premium Member How To Offend a Neighbor

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.

Curly Hair

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.

Commemoration

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

River Life

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
Form: Verse

What Am I

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?

Let the Drama In

I, the brook of your wails
Sodden my heart
Alongside the sheets of fails
The fault of what is to start

Perhaps the drama
Is too much for such
Fragile, naive.But mama
I'll take a seat and watch

You just ought the drama
To laze 
And let father
Fade

Meadow Trolls

Grassy ponds heave
under the tread
of moss piglets.
Kraken of microscopic
significance,
fill the forms of waterbears.
Tardigrade leviathans
plod a sodden sod,
toil assiduously
in the marshy haze
until Bur-marigold
grow out
of their dead giant heads.

Autumn Arrives

The torrential rains
Poured into September with a vengeance 
As the black clouds were driven in
By autumn winds,
Giving summer a sudden farewell. 
Crushing my fading petunias
As the leaves along the dike
Were painted all shades of gold
And pushed to the sodden ground.

Garden Ship

The Winter is enamel;
buckets of cold,
sodden pots of late growth.

Snow ship.
Trees taut with
tackle of frost.

Earth hard as
the white sea,
adrift and lost

between seasons
made of ice and sorts
of rain, not falling,

not sailing.
Dull and still
as December.
