MISSISSIPPI
M y love for the magnolia tree
I s a botanist dream.
S omething special to see
S o white, magnolia gleams!
I f I had a choice of trees,
S omeone suggestion was
S pruce,
I would say I like my State’s tree.
P lus the bloom is as white as the clouds.
P lease give me the magnolia
I adore right now.
Mississippi is where I am from – Old Magnolia.
M y love of the mocking bird
I s a bird watchers dream.
S omething special to see
S irens singing!
I f I had a choice of birds,
S omeone suggested one different,
S uch as the Three Wrens,
I would say I like my State’s bird.
P lus, they sing a beautiful song.
P lease, the mocking bird that
I adore.
Mississippi is where I am from – Old Magnolia & the Mocking Bird.
M y home is The Magnolia State.
I ce is what winter creates.
S pectacular the crystal glows.
S nowflakes hang from the trees.
I cicles drip.
S nowfall has appeared.
S unshine is desired.
I ce water caught in a bucket.
P itchers of Kool-Aid to drink
P eople are feeling holistic.
I mages of happiness and a change of seasons
Mississippi is where I am from.
Old Magnolia, the Mocking Bird, my home sweet home…
