There once was a girl named Dana
Who wasn't from old Savannah
She'd lived in Texas
Till she and her nexus
Moved east to Louisiana...

Use it sometimes and let no

They wasted my time.
I have moved on to bigger
And much better things.

The overkill of rainstorm
with threat of life and limb; trees
swivel, sway, dancing, falling
with wake of devastation rising.

Bobby Jindal
Appeases christian rightists unlike William Tyndall.
Thinks Presidential aspirations a plus
To bring budget woes to US....

dried tears

I want to see 
the face of God
look down and smile. 
his tears abated
after they dried 
in Louisiana.  the 
kindness 
brought a smile....

On the Bayou
Louisiana Cajuns 
Eatin'  hot cornbread,  
Chompin' aligator tail 
And suckin' crawfish heads.
Eatin' jambalaya 
And gumbo stew:
Gourmand, Sunday dinner,
On the old bayou....

Louisiana I Have Sinned
Louisiana Rev had a session,
with a girl in the oldest profession.
Was found with his pants down,
on the wrong side of town.
His next sermon became his confession.

Bayou Goodnight
With the song of the crickets and ballet of fireflies, 
the Louisiana moon has nestled in the sky. 
"Bonsoir, mon amour", she whispers so sweet
while watching from above as we drift off to sleep....

She said,
"Darkness bores my soul"
Give me 
the bright 
the light
the white
But 
I don't think that's right. 
I've written poetry that was beautiful.  
in a hurricane by flashlight...

Men
They just freak you and
Leave without telling you their
Freaking true feelings.

Good Sex
You screwed me hard.
'Til I screamed your name real loud.
I came-now, you're gone.

The Big Sky
Under the sky
Their beyond
The reach of man
The edges of light
The night spectacular
Beyond the sight
Of men
The collaborations 
Of distance
Atmosphere
Sun
Stretches across
The horizon
To become one
The big sky
The big sky...

Summer
Soon it will be hot outside.
Umbrellas will be used for shade.
May is really the start of summer in
Moist and warm Louisiana,
Even thought the calendar says it starts in June,
Really can’t wait for summer. That means no school.

The Pebble
If you have a little rock in your shoe,
You will not cross Alabama, 
You will not cross Louisiana,
You’ll have to remove it first,

In poetry, it is the opposite,
If you have a small pebble in your shoe,
Do not remove it, think about it
Make it into a poem....

Premium Member Angry Rising Tide
One school shooting in Alabama
  And another in Louisiana

Here's a protest in the park
  That's gone on and on past dark

There's an angry rising tide 
  Demanding gun-violence to subside
