Love in the bayou he brought to me a cypress knee others would think, it's not much when he brought satsumas & mirlitons i felt his loving touch he showed to me a dog of blue a dog with yellow eyes then down the river walk to see the Mississippi rise through the french market our fingers are entwined my heart is all a flutter proud and thankful he is mine what a romantic place this is to be of voo doo queens and Magazine where mardi gras is the true party drink my coffee with beigets and pralines one day in the car it began to rain the city soon became a flood we parked upon the common ground and wadded through the mud a place to eat and dry out feet soon became our plight feasting on oysters, boudin and hurricanes zydeco played us through the night i listen silently as he speaks see my future through his eyes just as the baby in the king cake he is- the true surprise he talks to me of things to be jazz fest, bon fires, and rodeos at prison still reminiscing of pontchartrain beach he is the true gift given romance blooms in the roux of the bayou a spicy place and time as i take all the excitement in i'm glad this turn is mine |

SlickLady~ Very nicely done, indeed. Oh, the 'baby in the King cake' touches the nostalgia in me. I still have my beads and the baby. Sounds like a memorable moment for you too. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
