walking slow, oh it could be called dancing
crowded with Bourbon Street night people
music filling the air, we stop every so often
wrapped arms around each other and swayed

firing up to the already hot-blood New Orleans
seems to affect all the out-of-town tourists and
the nights are specially made for physical reaction
big easy, sin city, whatever, a city of cool coitus

her willowy body pressed so close to mine
her face in my neck nuzzling and groping
I feel her eyelashes teasing, pleasing, my neck
we're fused together with lover's super glue

she broke away, her café au lait eyes dancing
as she tiptoed up to speak softly in my ear
in her intense and absolute Cajun accent
sha, we gon stay out heah on da street all night

lovely Denise didn't need to say anymore
I danced her back to her pad above Galatoire's
and it wasn't just to get the grime off when
we showered with plenty of soap and water

This poem has lagniappe...

I don't speak Cajun, but I looked up the word in the Cajun dictionary..this poem is "something special"
Reads very well, without a stutter..
And the story is fine good..

Well done J.P.

Thank you Ice for taking the time to look up the word. I am from Arkansas originally, but back in tha day we took our Senior Trip to New Orleans. I was immediately hooked. Though I traveled the country for many years I kept coming back here, until, finally I stopped running and nested here for good.
