Best South Carolina Poems

Never will I see pine trees,
or dream of whistling wind in leaves,
hear the moaning of the trains
in lonely nighttime southern rains.

Sunshine wakes a cross at morn.
Unsatisfied, I rise at dawn.
Moving to instinct unknown,
once claimed this foreign place my home.

Long ago, I dreamed of dance,
heightened form...

LOW COUNTRY BOIL SOUTH CAROLINA STYLE


Potatoes, corn, onions, sausage, shrimp, and crabs
Boiled together to perfection
Old newspapers laid on the table
All ingredients dumped together
Careful, it's hot

Salty mistiness enters my head.
Nostrils take in. Waves crash!

Sting rays sting! Crabs scatter!
Sandcastles, built wet on dry sand.

Walking miles on water-lapped shore.
Caesar remains, constant companion.
Then man politely asked for my hand.
Next year, for my hand in matrimony.

Ah. Salty, misty, water-waves pull.
Floating out to horizon, swim...

It's the last time...
        I'll shame myself, this skin will never drink again...
my lips will tumble, escaping from the frown that sits above my chin, I'll
taste loneliness and the shadow of forever as I run my tongue across...

bending over graciously,
It shelters Mr. Bluejays retreat,
Above, clouding blue skies prepare to shower,
No movement in this afternoon sauna,
Life must wait for  South Carolina sun to settle....

South Carolina Done


Huntsman took his ride to the Carolina coast
Campaigned a few days then decided he was toast.

Perry traveled south and spent plenty of loot
Then endorsed another cause the crowds wouldn’t root.

Paul rested in Texas, showed up a few days late
But his fans clapped and...

These strong old South Carolina trees
have now become my canopies.
God bless these South Carolina trees
that swung black bodies in the breeze.
 
They sway for peace and harmonies
from the ancient southern wrong in these,
that brings their grandness to bowed knees asking in prayer, 
“Forgive us please.”...

I left the old me on the South Carolina sand.
The naive, sensitive, fragile girl stayed on that land.
I signed my life away for a greater good out there.
Sacrificed what I was to become someone better.
I left that place as someone unrecognizably new.
Stronger, braver, not someone...

Another mass shooting has occurred in America.
This time, it happened in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
A doctor, his wife, two grandchildren, and another were killed by a gun.
A former NFL player was deemed the culpable one.
That player was found dead from a shot self-inflicted.
This was a...
