Poem Artwork

Feel more at home in antebellum gowns


On the plantation or in the towns


Want my own Rhett


Let him say “I don’t give a ----!”


 


Down in the bayous of the Southern states


I was born, a true Southern Belle


Granddaughter of a lumber baron


Great granddaughter of a Plantation owner


 


I was born a hundred years too late


The time where I feel most comfortable


Long gone from this high tech world


Longing for another time in this very state


 


Southern drawl pours from my lips


Dainty parasol and crocheted lace gloves


Hoop skirts and picture hat


A real Southern belle

I have not had very much experience with southern belles but if they were imported to California, I would be most humble and gentlemanly in their presence. Great write.
