Get yourself some swamp cabbage,
And get yourself some ham.
Get yourself some snap peas ,
And the biggest pot on hand.

Boil it up together,
Over a nice slow fire,
Until it's all real tender,
Then take it from the pyre.

Don't forget the seasonings,
Just salt and pepper's fine,
And serve it up with corn bread,
And folks will stand in line....

We are the women..
Who full of life, 
pluvial in attendance, 
Fresheners in sweetness, 
Tranquil decorated with flowers, 
Spilling like spring, 
Gleeful, like the wind 
Flavored by the seasonings love, 
Wavey, glowing on the sands of desire, 
Adorer, lover, raring to love that never
'broken nor unfulfilled' 
Flirting under fabrics texts and above! 
, 
So let him come to us
The one who is collecting the sea 
In our evening silk..! !...

A picture is transformed by adding
Colors to enhance
And music can make even 
The most tired person dance.

Some seasonings can make
Plain foods into a yummy meal
And time can take a broken bone
And help to make it heal.

A ready shoulder can transform
A frown into a smile
With words of kindness and support
To go that extra mile.

When times are tough we are transformed
If kith and kin provide 
The love that keeps us going
As it’s glowing deep inside....

Chilled white wine
A glass for the chef

Creole seasonings
A meal in a dish
A Southern delight

Chunks of catfish fillets
Corn and lima beans
Simmering till sublime

Gather around
If spicy stew's what you want
Help yourself

Cayenne pepper
Tabasco sauce
There’s even a bit of wine left

Only Shadows Remain
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

In remembering those we loved,
Naught can alter their time; it’s passed,
So we’re besieged by a myriad of what-ifs?

Now, we face a cascade of shadows,
Rife with seasonings, of pain, and sorrow,
Whimsy notions occupy our minds
About entanglements with the cheat of life;

By gorging on the scraps from life’s table,
He lies, propelled by each zephyr’s motion, 
A victim of his own volition;
