Here it's a misty morning where Dixie shines through grays
Its like a spring time blossom, not like a Autumn's day
The sun is on the other side just like a bright new smile
Except for cloaks of milky foam it'd be a day so fine
Now and then a sparkle , a string all golden bred
Shoots through like jeweled silk strung out on liquid thread
It rains a mist of silver and when a palm extends
It dresses down the fingers and to the heart extends
Funny how a day becomes much more for a thought
When beads of fluid love is palmed , caressed, absorbed and caught
Weekend days in Dixie , all warm and not forgotten
Another memory stays with me... steeped in gentle cotton
Dressed in kind with softness close against the flesh
Emotionally enamored by days that seem to mesh
The likeness of yesterday, the dejavu of bliss
I love the dreary days like this and all the times I missed
Wallowing indoors, rummaging through old things
Opening the rusted tears and wakening old dreams.
Your love of Dixie and the south shines through like fireworks on a summer night each time you do one of these tributes to your home. As each time you do I want more then anything to see for real the images you so poignantly describe in your writes dear Susan. Ahhhh maybe someday....

I like dreary days too, though Rufuz finds them annoying...he cannot get out to play without getting wet...lol, I found this two minute offering to give me a specific statement of a Dixie I have never seen in my southern vacations...Ed & Rufuz
All this beauty in two minutes?? You never cease to amaze me, Susan, with your talent...exquisite poetry, very well penned. Although the title was intriguing, it wasn't what I was thinking.....LOL *Shame on me*
Maybe a two minute write ... but a lifetime of experience and fine-tuning of the senses to flow in such a way Belle. There is always life in your quill.
Another gem from a grand poetess ...
