Short Neely Poems

(Southern) SUMMER SUN

 Gleaming Rays of Dazzling Bright 
 Is the Southern , Summer Sun

BACKROADS
 Rocky,
 Dusty,
 Bumpy,
 Curving,
 Twisting,
 Turning
 Tree-Canopied pathways;
 The Short cut
 The Scenic Route
 Or the long way home.

My love for you 
 Is like the kudzu,
 That surrounds us in this place;
 Changing the landscape of my life
 Forever;
 It is Unyielding , 
 Unrelenting 
 And cannot
 Be contained.

 Syrupy, sweet hospitality
 Downhome , Delta blues
 And beautiful Magnolia girls;
 Strong family values,

BOTTLE TREE
 They say
 That evil spirits
 Are captivated by your beauty
 As you stand glistening in the sun.
 Wanting a better look,
 They come closer
 And get caught.
 That's what
 They say.

MISSISSIPPI MAGNOLIA
 Home is where the heart is
 That's what they always say;
 Well, my heart is Mississippi's,
 In the most profoundest way;
 It's who I am 
 It's what I like,
 It's everything to me;
 A Mississippi Magnolia girl
 Is ALL I'll EVER be.

(STEEL) MAGNOLIA
 Breathtaking,
 Delicate beauty
 Of Creamy Perfection
 With Roots Running Deep
 In Southern Soil,
 A history almost
 As old as time,
 And endurance
 As tough as
 Steel;
 She defies description
 And explanation
 But...
 Beauty is its own excuse

FRONT PORCH
 (Hospitality Headquarters) 

 Just the spot
 For taking in a cool breeze
 And watching the world go by
 Friends and neighbors out
 For a leisurely stroll
 Stop and sit a spell.
 "Lemonade"?
 "Iced Tea"?
“Co-Cola?”
"Did you hear about...?"
 "Do Tell!"
 "You Don't Say!"
 "My, how the time flies"
 "Y'all come back, now"
 "You here? "
