Mississippi Dust rusted out old pick up truck producing high flying Mississippi dust barefooted thin pale blue cotton dress blows flirty kisses in the gust sunshine caressing my fair skin causing it to blush and freckle to match my hair drinking sweet tea from an iced mason jar makes me feel like a southern millionaire yes, I truly do love you no matter where I shall be I hear your sultry deep delta lullabies and Mississippi dust is still part of me [This message has been edited by 1slick_lady (04-30-2002 07:43 AM).] |

I hope Mississippi is home because you sure speak of it like it is. I too enjoyed the imagery. Rave on poet, rave on I say! |

*sigh* I've been here in Mississippi forever, and I still cannot write about it as well as you, Lady. You know I love these poems. I would love to do a collaboration with you one day on one of these. E-mail me when you get a chance. Lovely, as usual. *Jenn* How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |
