The bayou is not just a place to me... it is as vital as the air I breathe and the heart that beats within me.

Breath of the Bayou


rock me gently
in the cradle
of your rippled lullaby
and sing for me
a melody of grace
shelter me softly
in the canopy
of your loving arms
and whisper to me
words of the ancients
embrace me softly
in the mists
of your sultry beauty
and let me feel your breath
upon my soul


Rev. February 2007

The magic of the bayou bursts forth before our eyes in this gorgeous write. The feeling of being safe in the bosom of God's lovely palate is exhilarating and humbling. Your picture makes me want to head that way with my fishing pole! As I and my fishing buddies would say: "that's a mighty fishy lookin' place." You always amaze me Myrna with the places you take me through your words.

Your poetry makes me reluctant to visit the bayou country... for fear that it won't measure up to your worshipful descrip;tion. These lines are special heartbeats for you native land, and they are beauty personified. - Bill

My fondest wish is to someday view the bayou for the first time as my Acadian ancestors who were forced from Nova Scotia by the ruthlessness of the Acadian Expulsion.
Wonderful way to bring to the magic of the bayou.

Your "intimacy" with the bayou is breathtaking, Myrna. Ces vers parlent à mon âme. Merci. Love and peace,

Pretty soon you're going to have me falling in love with the bayou, just as Abdi-Noor and Safi's poetry made me fall in love with Somalia...
