Mud Everywhere

46. Dirty: Write a poem about getting covered in mud.

Baking sun and burning rocks.
The water level’s low.
The water’s cool around our ankles,
The mud is squishy between our toes.

The boys have stripped down to their skivvies
I’ve rolled up my pants legs and dipped my feet.
They clamber over rocks and boulders.
I sit and watch them at their play.

Each pool has something interesting,
Every pebble is magical.
Each stick transforms into something wonderful
Every creature is an exciting find.

They’re caked from head to foot–
The mud and dirt stick under their nails.

But they’ve tasted freedom–
A freedom only found in summer.
