if my happy is too loud,
splashing yellow-paint sun
across the floor, staining it
anything but sorry
if i wear joy
in plaids with polka-dots
just for the sake
of clashing
will you correct me,
mop up the color
& quiet the noise
or will you smile,
turn up your hands
& join me in this mess
of mud pies
i am making?
Susan Daniels Poetry 
Join you I will 🙂
Yay!
If I splash white on your sun-yellow we can make it even brighter! This is wonderful and full of joy of living, thank you! I love it.
🙂 oh, thank you! I had fun with this–pretty sure you can tell!
Mudpies could be fun sport.
🙂 yes, they could! One thing we have a lot of right now is mud… Had to work it in somehow!
love when you are playful with your words Susan. Happiness in your colors and patterns
Thanks, Audra! I really had fun with this one!
I will definitely join you!
AWESOME!
I would love too 🙂
Great! We have enough for teams, too, in case it gets reduced to a mud ball war instead 😉
We yanks are especially good at mud slinging, especially this time of year, every four years…
Never ever apologize for being so full of life and joy. This was a beautiful scent!
Thanks Susan!
Oh, thank you, Joe!
pure! And beautifullly fun!
Thank you!
Oh dear, such an easy question to answer. I so delighted in this verse, Susan. So playful and tempting. And touching the child of me who longs to toss colors at walls and skip songs over waves.
Oh, George, thank you! Also thanks for the reblog!

Yay!
Susan, much as I agree that this is beautifully written and fun, I wll certainly not join you to make this mess. I mean I have to clean up and that is one thing I hate, mopping up the mess my kids create! 🙂 I’m laughing my head off writing this. 🙂
hahaha–I still love you, C!
