Spring Rain
washes winter from the sky,
brightening the blue,
bleaching the clouds,
refreshing the breeze,
filling the garden
with mud soup.CLA

mud soup!
Jientje’s last blog post..Would you?
You must mean this metaphorically. Mud soup comes from a garden hose.
just the way things are. but it takes a poetic mind to say it in such a beautiful way

Melli — so is Spring!
Jientje — I used to make it on purpose as a child. Now I care for it less.

Bill — ypu might want a laxative with that lunch!
Dr. John — you had mud and snow and ice, yet you live in the UP. You don’t get a lot of weather you do like, do you?

I love the juxtaposition of the clean and the dirty in the same poem. I guess in order to get one thing clean something else has to get dirty! 🙂 Love the word pictures here as well.

Very nice juxtaposition.

Yes, that’s the word, juxtaposition. A surprise ending, but comedy is the art of the unexpected. Is spring like that in Hawaii too?
