sitting inside The Hovel musing leisurely observing the bayou’s unhurried passing no skinny dipping in those waters gators don’t’cha know with sweet Zoe by my side know I’m not alone I am merely in seclusion silently communicating with the charisma and attraction of my environment listening to Bayou Lafourche imparting her secrets I listen in rapture of pirates daring who sailed these waters so long ago I close my eyes feeling a soft swell as though I was aboard a pirate ship dagger in my teeth awaiting soon to be plundering gold doubloons ah . . . Zoe’s wet and cold nose caused me to open my eyes realized I was sittin’ in The Hovel not a pirate ship no dagger clenched ‘tween my teeth sighing I drink what was left of the cheap California burgundy and when I fell into bed I dreamed of that pirate ship and my share of all those gold doubloons stashed in the ship’s hole ©April 28, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Down in your part of the world Mr. Bolton, I'd wager folks still talk about Jean Lafitte and his escapades. Your great story had me wondering...Any connection between you two? Are we safe here at Pip? Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here... |

I don't know how safe you are, but no connection to Jean Lafitte. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Great piece, my friend. Know wherefor you come! If it wasn't for sweet dreams sometimes, misery would gain a foothold and not let go. Enjoyed much... j. |
