beauties
unruffled
on a steamy day
float in boats rowed by their beaus 
white silken hands folding their fans at sunset

What I miss at this old age
is sitting high like some tree sage,
in a stately southern oak
not thinking of being rich or broke.

Although there's no sign from above
That the two of us are in love
Before day is done
Our hearts beat as one
Because we both fit like a glove

Bird On a Wire

a wire
what makes
your heart
go higher or
is it 
what you
desire
that true passion
to be
absolutely
free
as 
the 
southern wind

Clouds burst a new rain.
The golden sunlight glitters.
Thus quenching drought’s pain.

In the town of Vidalia, GA,
Lived a girl named Mahalia, they say.
Then a strong southern breeze,
Blowing in from the seas,
Blew Vidalia Mahalia away.

A vampire known as Silent Killer,
wanted to star in a thriller;
He had just one flaw,
that lisp in his southern draw; 
Film’s a talkie, what a bummer.
