A TRIBUTE TO MUD

Folder: 
JOURNAL#1

me and you, you and me

what a trip the two of us can be

we have each other to turn to

which is relatively great

but how come you're always late

lightning can not compare to your wrath

you are simplicity within itself

yet at times you are the hardest math

me plus you usually equals craziness

but I must admit without you I'd be a mess

in my life likely you are the blood

but on the other side of the coin

if I were the Mississippi river

then you'd have to be it's mud

in other words don't leave me mud!

(written Nov. 21,1988 for my then good

pal Cathy Westfall)


Author's Notes/Comments: 

what can I say here other than its a punishingly poor attempt at early twenty something wit! talk about a lead zephlin!(laughs)

hey, i like you're stuff, but it is a little all over the place. I think that if you were to take one theme (no matter how trivial or simple) and splinter off of that as the center, then you could really do some damage. Remember that punctuation is how the reader interprets the poem. Use it to help us flow through your work. It is really good though. I like the abstract undertones.
