Mud Season

Mud season is the before and after

It's the beginning and the end

It's the war when seasons collide

Spring versus winter.

 

When the birds start to come back

The groundhog decides the weather

Bears come out of hibernation

And you can hear the peepers come out at night.

 

Mud season is the warm days

And cold nights.

 

Winter depression is done

The warm spring sun has come out

And everyone has summer fever.

 

Mud season is the due on the grass in the morning

The little puddles everywhere 

And of course the mud.
