Sun-dappled grave stone stands alone, Grass does not grow around that stone. It's kept apart from other graves. One lone marker. Wait! Is that a moan? Some say the fever took the lass, And other's point to her disgrace, And some make the sign when they pass, The young girl's restless, resting place. Secrets are kept about this one, Spanish moss, mint juleps of old, Family mystery, the girl was shunned, Rumors persist and stories told. Midnight hush-hush in the old south, The girl's drunkard kin; will he tell? Cotton plantations, hush yo mouf, What has she done; this southern belle? ©August 14, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
