Alabama Poems - Poems about Alabama

I found you. From the floorboards, to the trunk, to the stairs, to my table, you shambled. Howling and bleeding. God, I had wanted so badly to recognize you.

They grow girls tough in Alabama, Pa. They are lively and the meanest you ever saw. They chased me down and threw me into the mud. Don’t make me go back to school said young boy Chud. The pa rolled his eyes, and pointed to his wife. You might as well know, son, this is your life. These dainty creatures wear...

Cold drinks in a wet heat, The bindings of paper a silent retreat Beneath the cool shade of a screened porch Escaping the fiery torch That is the Alabama summer. I'll keep here between these lines of lovers Immersed in worlds entirely other I'd rather live among these brutes of men Than have to venture home again And face this Alabama summer. From...

Those were such happy days, for I had lately been deeded a farm, My aunt and uncle were retiring, so tillage had lost its charm. Since they were childless, and to a retirement community bound, It seemed I was headed to Alabama, and an absence of city sounds! As I worked remotely on a computer, my job wouldn't be...

If I lived in Alabama I would so much disapprove Of the attitude towards women That I’d simply have to move. There’s a revolution coming And, despite those southern charms, Many Alabama females Should right now be up in arms. For to challenge a decision That’s been law for many years Proves that women’s low-class status In that state still perseveres. I’ll not visit Alabama; I don’t know...

A little south of Heaven On the Gulf of Mexico Here in the Heart of Dixie The living's easy and slow The weather's mostly nice here Round Mobile Bay Sunshine when it ain't raining It's beautiful today here in L.A. Living in L.A. Lower Alabama Spanish moss, azaleas A deep south panorama, Lower Alabama So far south, can't get no farther Off the map, feet hitting water A...

Making a Snowman in Alabama By Elton Camp In Alabama, whenever snow falls “Let make a snowman,” a kid calls The result that he wants to see Is one like in books or on TV But when the snowfall is through There’s little with which to do Balls of snow you try to gather The dry stuff won’t stick together It picks up dirt from...

An Alabama Riot By Elton Camp When one thing comes to be true, Hysteria, almost chaos, will ensue For the only thing that it does take Is to see just a single snowflake How to deal with snow, we don’t know Our reaction will be certain, though It’s to the store in a wild, mad dash Clutching credit card or some cash All the bread...

In late on a late night from a long journey, Barely in the door She's telling funny stories of her own misfortunes. The comedy of errors that harried her homewards. The young woman who will always be our child Has the lot of us laughing When we should be asleep At things that would've driven others To fury or despair But those have...

Oh how furious it was, God sent his power from above. He let the Black clouds and the rain come gushing through our window panes. Oh what scary a sight to see, I felt like running, I tried to free me. The gushing winds blowing so fast, I never thought I would last. ...

Trolls or Frogs It has been raining for days, fine gentle precipitation and the sun ravaged ground, where I walk among olive trees, has turned deep green hiding gray stones in a verdant blanket of love. It is like a second spring minus a hot sun, a respite before the real winter sets in. A few big frogs...
