Poem Artwork

Dark, damp, spooky night


Scared to wonder far out of sight


Bone chilling wind blowing wild


In the distance I see a misty fire cloud.


 


Gathering my nerve, off I go to investigate


Slowly I walk thru the dark, scared, closing fence gate


Sweating becoming soaking wet


Stopping only to look, glaze, and wiping my brow.


 


Closer my steps lead me as my heart is pounding


Crawling now inch-by-inch to spy


Suddenly voices I hear beneath the dark skies


Aliens from outer space sent to capture me.


 


Peeking thru the blue grass with my eyes


Aliens I do not see


Just some good ole southern boys


Making corn whiskey


 


John T. Banasiewicz Jr.

HEY!!! Make sure there's some left in the jug for me!!!! Geesh, I'm always a day (or two or three lol) late and a dollar short!!

This is a great poem that takes us on a thrilling adventure....made me think of a Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer as adults!

Well done my friend - thanks for the fun!

Peace,

~Rose~

Tommy, this had me humming in my mind the song “A Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr. while I was reading this. Excellent work and visuals, my friend. I enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing it. Take care and be well.

There is nothing quite like the sound of a Mason jar being screwed opened to reveal the white liquid of well-made corn likker, I say, likker, my friend. LOL

Southern boys making corn whiskey? You don't really think they do that here?
Only if they get the chance! These days they are more likely to just drink corn whiskey than make it...but...they have been known to.
Glad to know you are in much better company with them good 'ol Southern Boys than with the aliens Tommy! If your lucky..there'll be a few Southern girls show up! *grin*
Great write!
