Holler Out Poems - Poems about Holler Out

It is simple and plain A few potholes along the way It is West Virginia that’s to be expected It is a road just like any other Divided into two lanes One way takes me away For work For daily life occurrences For a weekend getaway I know this road well I drive it every day I know it bends I know its...

Why do I sing such a memory? You're gone now, I've sung you away. Recalling a song or humming a tune seems not to be enough.

I ain't afraid of no ghost, friend, You can bet your bottom dollar I'm an expert on ghosts of men - I was born in Booger Holler. Now the Holler's a mile across And the length is about the same The trees all drip with Spanish Moss, The woods are all empty of game Our haunting ghost was named Ol' Jake A Reb who'd...

Passion can’t lift itself from this notepad fast enough and express the light outlining the shadows of my zombies. I am here but my mind is...
