Muddy Me Up

 

Nice to be almost five

with your feet in the sand

dumping pails of water

making it cool,

covering toes in the mush.

 

This is good

this is great

and he runs back and forth

where water sits

trapped in a plaster sheet,

outdoor yard its residence

and the plastic jug

a haven for more scooped-up water.

 

So much fun for almost five,

grandpa baking in the sun

watching little Spencer grow

into big Spence.

creating stories and poems. Writing from

a grandfather’s point of view is also fun.”

Lovely, Richard, what a lively, simple tableau of grandfatherly love.

Wonderful that you enjoyed it, Vera. Trying new dimensions and a new focus on issues, however mundane they may appear is a challenge for me to work my way into the marrow of my subject material.
