Mud Season

Mud season.
It’s quite an interesting time.
There’s melting snow everywhere,
And random patches of ice,
Mixed in with the slippery mud
Under the carpet of decaying leaves.
The melting icicles dot the houses,
At least if there are any left,
And animals haven’t come out of hibernation yet,
But they are thinking about it.
The water,
Where the ice has melted off,
Is also really cold…
Really,
Really
Cold,
And walking home after you have fallen in a river
Is a cold
Long,
And wet walk home.
