Mud Puddles

Gary Edward Geraci

 

Little boys playing in the brown mud
Toy dump trucks building reservoirs
Took a hose to fill it - with Water

God playing in the red dirt dug out
A human form only one time
Took a nose to fill it - with Spirit

Nothing's been the same since
a bright electric green Carolina Anole
in a Texas humid summer black oak tree
while Vivaldi baroque sonatas and cannoli
and coffee play and provoke the senses making
sense of a scented blue paper origami turtle taking
time while a team of pea size featherlight flower balls
go power racing down the baking black asphalt street
tickling, having fallen from pink and white crêpe myrtle trees

    I'm as envious of this poem as I am of your beard. Haha. It's a great read.

    • Gary Edward Geraci

      Thank you for your read, comment, and beard compliment. We draw from the same source. May the "source" be with you (I couldn't resist!)

      This was so descriptive it bordered on sensory overload...an intricate web some talented writing spider has woven. I enjoyed the read.

      • Gary Edward Geraci

        Thank you Mr. Franklin for your read and comment. I'm glad to hear the writing touched upon your senses!
