Swamp Poems

Bayou Bliss

Uh huh
Jambalaya
Uh oh
Crawdad gumbo
That spice
It’s Cajun nice

Girl there
With long blonde hair
She’s flame
and can’t be tamed
Legs long
Bayou beat song

So nice
Red beans and rice
Real sweet
With pepper heat
Hot day
Shrimp etouffee

So real
She makes me feel
Her eyes
Beautiful lies
Much more
Oh I adore

Love taste
Rush passion’s haste
Salt sweet
Such tender meat
De-sire
Swamp born fire

Hunger
Never sated
Give me
What she plated
Eat till
I’m full to burst
Need her
A voodoo curse

Voices From The Swamp

The voices of the poor and or poverty ridden cry out from the lopsided political swamps for help or some kind of meagre assistance.
Drowning in the quagmire of neglect from the rich 1percent.
Totally ignored. The Rich are either delibertaley ignorant of their plight
Or they just don't care.
The Rich force them to take so called vaccines

Premium MemberECHOES OF THE LAKE

Trumpet-like lilies by the lake
preen for the flamboyant flamingo,
sifting through the murky waters,
searching for algae and shrimp
where crawdads click and clatter.

While silvery fish glide stealthily
leaving barely a ripple behind,
a chorus of frogs’ croaks
echo like the whining twang
of a plucked banjo string.

Dragonflies skim the water’s surface
as their translucent wings shimmer
like gems in the sunlight,
dart about the

In the Swamp

In the swamp the raccoons romp
And gators ply the waters.
Wild boars snuff and strut their stuff
And eat their sons and daughters.

Take a ride but stay inside
The boat, both feet and fingers
Or else your zeal provides a meal
(And teeth hurt more than stingers!).

On the boat, when gators float,
The captain calls them closer
With marshmallows tossed at little

Premium MemberO Trump and Elon please come and drain the swamp of Washington State part two

O the Democratic Swamp Monsters must really hate
All of the legal citizens who live and work in Washington State,
They are working on perfecting their catch and release policies
Of all of dangerous illegal criminal immigrant's cause of Ferguson's follies.
That he wants to sign into law that pass our Woke Democratic House and
Senate and rob the taxpayers

Premium MemberDraining the swamp of the federal and state government part one

The Democratic Party has wasted trillions of United States Citizens taxpayers dollars.
The Social Security System has people even older than our nation of 300 years old
on our rosters.  Not all of it has been domestic some it has been foreigners illegally
targeting these benefits by the the informational theft and hacking into secure accounts.
Yes, there

Swamp Cleaner

All over Washington D.C.
He flies with pomp and pride
Donald Trump, President
Surveys the swamp overhead
Of wrath and promises bold 
He vows to cleanse the deep
Swamp's dark waters
His axe to wield
America great again to keep

Premium MemberBoyhood Memories

Carolina home
In the great Palmetto State
Place where I was born

Boy was free to roam
On a ninety-acre farm
Free from fear and harm

In dirt, sand or mud
We sandlappers had it all
To work, play, or brawl

Turning the dark dirt
Putting the hounds on the trail
Tussling with cousins

Having dirt clog fights
Making toys out of pine bark
Plowing fertile fields

Running through the

Swamp Witch

In the heart of the swamp where the shadows creep,  
Lives a witch in the mist, secrets buried deep.  
With eyes like embers and hair like night,  
She conjures her magic by flickering light.  

The cypress trees whisper her name with dread,  
As she weaves her spells on the souls

I remember when I was 4 and my grandpa had a big white dog. He was old, already, but ofcourse I didn't knew. I remember (How a kid is), always sleeping on him or even hitting him but he never minded. My grandpa said: ,,Don't hurt him for your own sake", first I was confused

Unkie, my friend or foe
At night with a pin he'd stick me
So he said; in his bed
With him I did not sleep
Had my own bed_no dread

Unkie, my friend or foe
Had a curved walking cane
One hand was unusable
He had harsh attitude
He's so confusable

Unkie, my friend or foe
He had a bad sore leg
He got burned in a
