 Uploaded with ImageShack.us over here sweetie of course you, who else, sha come to my Kasbah you and your pretty face walk with me toward our Joyful Bayou I'll pull your beautiful brown tresses firmly, passionately, into the warm bayou water we'd stand still holding hands, listening to the swamp like little children we hear nature's call a chirp over there an old bullfrog's harrumph long-stemmed egrets fishing alongside the bayou's bank soon there is a veritable orchestra tuning up for our benefit it's when the horned owl commences with its whoo-whoo that all the varmints and insects band together as we stand perfectly still listening to our song we feel like children, mesmerized by it all all of our dreams composed into a swamp magnum opus ©January 17, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

I do love the sounds of the swamp; it's very musical, just like this poem.  (watch out for gators though)  |

You're braver than I am to walk in that water! LOL But this is beautiful... I love the swamp sounds... and can just hear the bullfrog's bellow. Excellent write! |

Not so brave, suthern, that is love speaking, and through love we do many foolish things in its name. At the time I wrote this poem I thought it romantic, albeit a bit misplaced. I still do. Heehee Thank you for your comments, they are now and always appreciated. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

Wow, this has such a resounding, almost magical, joy and peace to it that I, no nature buff, would join you out there if I could. Enjoyable piece. Michael |

Well, Michael, you know that old saying about three's a crowd (except in orgies), so I will just thank you for your kind words and decline your presence. My lady and I are very happy alone. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |
