It's great to be back in the bosom of love
Where comfort abounds for my health
As the marshes begin to whisper a breeze
And the Herons display all their stealth
Just then the waters open with froth
To share her emerald tea features
The fish are hopping with songs of the birds
And the chatter of some distant creature
Its part of the reason I love the south
With all of her lovely guiles
When a drive into town becomes a great treat
Just to circle the squares for a while
This graceful old lady smells of the moss
And magnolias with jasmine aside
She tugs at all senses with treasures galore
During a midnight ride
I'm deffinitely home as my senses run free
When the air comes alive with great passion
It's a birthright I own and nothing will change
It's the Rebel I wear here in fashion
I can go to the ends of this great earth
Flirt with nations far off for a while
Yet nothing can do it for me like home
Right here where Savannah smiles.
Sights, scents, sounds... You command such a 3-D perspective and dynamic in your narrative writes, Susan. Love the different textures in this and the range of deep-seated emotions tapped-into. You always make us FEEL, and I don't think ANYONE could ever be half-asleep when they interact with your page. You have always such pace and rhythm. Delightful, thank you. Kate xx
Some of our memories survive in real life intact - no need for nostalgia to be summoned to please the senses - it's all there.
Love the line 'It's the Rebel I wear here in fashion'.
Passionate write with birds eye views of the sights, sounds and smells of a place you love so well. Someday I would truly love to visit the wonderful place you describe.

Your imagery and passion make this poem outstanding! You do it so well. Belated Happy Birthday to you Susan. May you have nothing but lovely days ahead!
Welcome back to making money in Macon. After Savannah, that city ain't so bad, either. Savannah Smiles makes your friends and fans smile. We get the drift... from all the pluses you list... and more. It's good to see you name back up there in pin-points! - Bill
