Mississippi River levees

River Road ridin’

Motorcycle slidin’

Hot rod glidin’

Airline Highway flyin’

Gumbo, red beans and rice, étouffée and jambalaya

Boiled shrimp, blue crabs and crayfish 

Café au lait smooth and flavored lips

Sprinkled with a dash of nutmeg and youthful passion

Sweet things

Pralines, condensed milk in coffee with chicory, wild blackberries

and wilder deep pecan tasting kisses

Seasoned pepper grass, mustard greens and collards

Black pepper, cayenne, filé, Tabasco

and you too

Vibrant multi-colored hibiscus, burnished moss on centuries old oak tree

around the bend, honey suckle dew drops, magnolia, climbing vine leafs

Seductive aromas seeping into me

Light rains dreamy, misty and cleansing

Torrid showers, thunder storms and lightening

Hurricane Warning… Category 7
