She is olden in her beauty Rich as the ashen soil Delicate as the spanish moss Hanging from the trees Like the oak of ancient She welcomes all in open Arms. Stretching wide across The lanes, of time. The hostess of Southern grace Delivers her speech, blushing In the fluid bloom of azaleas She is no stranger, to strangers She has stood the test of time And watched many from the dock Of her seaport, Rise up in the Horizon. She spends a quiet hour Billowing white in yards of Antique lace, With a single ribbon Of bright yellow tied around her Waist. Elegant in her reception. Simply charming in her bare feet. Waiting for love to weigh anchor Within the shade of her seventeenth Century heart. [This message has been edited by rwood (edited 08-22-2001).] |

I have not had the pleasure of visiting, but have spent some time in other southern cities and towns... I find there is a paradoxical feel to them. Many pleasant and wonderful things to comment on and histories that may not be as pleasant as the images....and in some cases...still the lingering prejudices that seem to deny equality... you paint a lovely picture... and the poem is very well done... I enjoyed |

Hi Rwood, I've been to Savannah and loved the quaint streets, the warm hospitality and the old world ambience echoing throught the shops, houses, and gardens. Your poem is a beautiful personifcation of the city's spirit and the imagery perfectly underscores the elegance of your theme. Enjoyed Wendy |
