I may be south of Georgia today but it still isn't my true southern home. Upon reflecting on Dixie in the spring, I came upon a night ride with every sense open to the beauty around me.No one can beat my smile after rereading my own tribute to a Dixie night ride.


Poem Artwork


riding into a warm night
the sunroof opened to air
wysteria smells afloating
lightening bugs everywhere
rebel jasmine blooming
cherry blossoms afloat
flung along by a swift breeze
from some storm still remote
the moon a crest upon heavens
stars too many to count
free as a bird on this highway
as springtime virtues amount
it's a pleasure to breath in this beauty
the South so pretty and proud
my heart sings visions of Dixie
in a voice sopranoed and loud
cresting a hill out of heaven
surrounded by God's own display
toward midnight her shine is around me
breaking her into a new day.

Great when alone. Reminds me of a night ride with glisening mounds and one covered with the softest fur between two stong legs. Whew!

As always you take us for a loving virtual tour of the beautiful Southern country side. Wish I was there to share this lovely scene and could picture sitting up on the back of an open convertible singing country songs beneath the moon.
