Premium Member Snow in the South
Jack Frost got me hustling To clear my car of excess snow Bare brown branches bustling As frigid blue breeze blows The forecast was right or wrong As I sit in the car heating it up On the radio red Christmas songs Sing along makes freezing fun enough I watch a parent play with child Shaking tree to sprinkle white flurries Warm...

In the south
In the South, where the magnolias bloom, And the sweet tea flows in the afternoon, Where the cicadas sing their evening tune, And the fireflies dance beneath the moon. The air is thick with summer's heat, Yet the shade of oaks provides retreat, Front porches creak with stories old, Of love and loss, of hearts so bold. The fields of cotton, white as...

Some years winter is very mild. Warm afternoons to sit in the sun. Or do something fun, maybe wild outside, instead of coming undone. Some years winter in the south vary About every ten years or so There'll be deep snow in our zonary Freezing rain, sleet from gray clouds flow All in all, there are emerging...

Yonder Thy Houses In the South
Yonder thy houses in the south Santa heading from north Grandfather stoking the flames Songs of joy and praise Whiffs of peppermint and mocha Presents under a wreath Flakes melting on palm Earth still and calm Yonder thy bridge in the west Flame in the eyes of a child Drunken and the lost gather round Bitter snow reminiscent of sweet dreams Wishes and prayers of suns...

Growing Up Down In the South
Just North of South Carolina Is where this country boy was born All I really cared in those growing years Was the running through woods kind of fun Those days I fondly remember There's no way you can bad mouth the South With water up to our knees chasing crawfish in creeks And anything else nature would allow Even squirrel...

Premium Member Born In the South
Born in the South By Franklin Price 7/17/2016 Born in the South The year was 1945 There have been so many changes Since I have been alive The races separated By the colors of their skin Inequalities existed Don't know where I should begin Separate but not equal Were the blacks compared to whites Could not use the same facilities Did not have those equal rights Could not dine...

Premium Member Summer Nights In the South
Summer Nights in the South Green fireflies blink in the quiet of night and our sleeping old dog heaves a sigh. Dreaming, she sprints through a youthful blue sky chasing delicate clouds, cotton-white. A red-sunset tanager* colors the warm air from a perch in the majestic oak limbs above professing by lullaby, sincerely devoted love, like some sublimely recited evening prayer. I lay back...
