The Ohhhhhhhhh Of Mississippi

angels dance
in Mississippi
their toes
touch silt and mud
lightening bugs
flicker heart beat
crickets play violins
of darkness
and frogs sing chorus
in perfect pitch
souls fly free
in echoed playful pines
soft touch brushes you
through magnolia scents
in the place
where the moon
bends to its knees
to kiss the earth

Omigosh...
Sorry for missing this one, Helen.
I haven't been replying as much as I was the past weekend. This is an awesome poem done in such a way that only you could do it. Lovely as usual, Lady.

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

This is such a lovely poem, your imagery is beautiful, I could almost be there, shame I'm only a few hundred thousand miles away ... The joys of sunny old England ! Enjoyed the read .
