Mulch muddy, roots raw,
Wet through with fresh, frigid rain,
Deep exquisite earth.
A/N: I never thought I would write a haiku-Ode to mud, but here we are!
In England, we complain a whole-heck-of-a-lot about mud - sticking in our shoes, blocking our trails, and messing up our carpets. But I think it deserves some more love! Mud is the earth stretching and changing into new valleys and streams! Beautiful!

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

A wonderful ode/haiku… love that you sought to see the positives of the challenges regarding mud!
Oh, this awakened so many senses in me. :) I can envision myself as a child, running thorugh the mud and smelling the petrichor. Wonderful job!
Something must be wrong with me because this left me craving... chocolate?? Lol Idk. Either way I loved the silky feel of this and the way you painted a picture so wonderfully!! Great work TWW! 💚
The earth stretching...I will keep hold of that I think, on my travels.
Perfectly written
It's just nature being nature hehehe. Loved your ode!
Yes ,here you are. It is a nice Haiku.
I really enjoyed this. Never thought of mid that way before, but you're right. Also, I love the hashtags at the end. Now get some sleep. 🤣
