Dixie’s Dreaming

brown canoed
I lay with you
telling lazy fishing lies
dip my toes
in the Mississippi
looking in your eyes
the warmest welcome
you could ever give is
caressed in shirts white cotton
easy making memories
from simple things
never to be forgotten
tying chicken legs
in a stringed basket
for blue crabs to troll
Dixie’s dreaming
and this is truly where
I wear my soul

Mississippi…I will always love you…best.

I’m not disappointed, I never expected anything from you.

Helen,
You wrote this especially well, for I sit here and relax and sigh. Sounds like a wonderful place to be and the simplest things somehow always seem to stay in our minds, making memories.
Still swaying, just a tad, in that canoe, breathing in life. Mmmmmmmm.
Nice to get away for a minute.

Warm Regards,
Pat

I have no living experience in the South except a neighbor who's mother was from Georgia. The word I relate to is soft in order to describe her spoken words and mannerisms. I like your title to describe the South.
