Ann Peck Poet Other

Summer Night Hs

under southern skies
chitlins fry corn pones cooking
then molasses pie

trees still drip from rain
summer breeze wanders on by
man in moon smiling

guitar and a uke
play songs we all try to sing
warbles in the night

watching the stars fly
little ones sleep on blankets
too happy to cry

pleasant can't get much better
night whispers its surrender

Susan Ashley May 13, 2023 at 8:13 AM Dear Ann, my heart's imagination is swept up and away by the tender beauty of this summer night. Your enchanting imagery tantalizes the senses and brings me to the center of this vibrant, loving and satisfying scene. An exquisite poem, my friend. Best wishes for a win in Joanna's contest and warmest wishes for you, sweet friend.. ~Susan Susan Ashley May 13, 2023 at 9:18 AM You achieved your poetic goal with ease and finesse.. Ann Peck May 13, 2023 at 9:00 AM Dear Susan, I knew you would see the beauty in simplicity. I was trying to bring a picture of easy-ness before the rush of life today intervened. Thank you, lovely friend.

Victor Buhagiar May 12, 2023 at 1:21 AM There is something magical when we enjoy the nightlife so much. Ann Peck May 12, 2023 at 8:33 AM Yes, it is magical! Thanks, Victor!

Jim Slaughter May 11, 2023 at 10:58 AM I've never dared try "chitlins", but I do love Southern cooking. An excellent entry for the contest, Ann. It should do very well. BOL! Ann Peck May 11, 2023 at 1:48 PM I've never tried them, either, altho corn pones are good. I just wanted this to give the flavor of the old South. I should have used banjos, though. Thanks for your comments, Jim!

Susan Lawrence May 11, 2023 at 6:42 AM Dear Ann . I was transported in space and time to this place you described in detail . I sense and smell and see and feel the energy ! I love ~ pleasant can’t get much better night whispers it’s surrender ! Big hugs , Susan :) Ann Peck May 11, 2023 at 7:54 AM Thanks so much, Susan. I'm so happy you could tell I was trying to replicate a long-ago southern night.

Victor Buhagiar May 10, 2023 at 11:08 PM lovely haikus for the contest.

Daniel Turner May 10, 2023 at 6:22 PM You had me at corn pones! Can't be too far away, Ann :) I love this one! Happy Mother's Day! Daniel Turner May 10, 2023 at 9:12 PM yes cornbread Ann Peck May 10, 2023 at 9:06 PM My daddy had a cook from the south and it seems like corn pones were a form of cornbread? Or maybe grits... Anyhow, thanks so much, Daniel and for the Mother's Day wish! :)
