Muggy morning stinks with sweat
as the mosquitoes buzz
at low tide…
Mud sucks at eager feet
plucking at toes who
search and poke…
Turning over bodies
bloated and dank…
Drifting off with the tidal flow…
Old mysteries rear their ugly head
in the emerald green, bay waters…
But the mud hides its secrets well…
with only the fear of bones…
and flesh…
to rise up…
and scream in the cooling breeze…
At some drunken…
or unguarded…
moment…

Thank you so much, Mr. Jueseppi:)
My pleasure Mr. David. ;-)
This is a very moving poem. Well done. Hugs, Barbara
Thank you, Barbara. It was a very strong subject for me
Quite a story in this one…
I would agree, Sheila. I’m glad you read it
Very cool effect. You’re going to have to explain this one to me…why it’s a strong subject, when you get a chance. Your elven bud, highly-evolved elven bud…lol….sam
Hmmmm….I couldn’t even begin to explain it…but, I’m glad you liked it!
couldn’t even begin…I’ll let you try…:)
Well, its about low tide…uhhh…and potential mysteries uncovered….At least that’s what I see
Oh…..potential mysteries uncovered….that’s coolness. hehe thanks D :)
It is soooo coolness lol. In all seriousness. As the writer, I enjoyed this one
some deep thought! a very different mood this one created! unlike your other ones! even the photo spoke differently!
Thank you so much! that’s what I was searching for and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I did ! but sometimes we get habituated to a certain kind of things and a sudden change make su think more..so was your post
I would agree completely:) I didn’t really try for that, it just went in a different way on its own lol
Excellent post. Cool and creepy at the same time. And a terrific photo choice.
Thank you so much, Tim… I’m glad it put off that vibe
This is dark writing David. Different yet well written.
Well I’m glad you liked it kim. I’m always happy when you stop by
:)
Have written wonderful, David!
I understand that reflux may help to reveal little of the mysteries hiding in the deep seas. – Maybe I’m wrong but I hope you do not mind!
Have a great day, David! Stefanie fondly! :)
Stefania I always appreciate your insight!! Thank you so much for your thoughts and opinions. Have a wonderful day!
