O Sweet Memories

down home Louisiana

With sweet jazz rythms lay'd upon my heart

today slides easily!

 

That sensual sax blows, to the river's flow~

Words longing for my sweet Louisiana home

Stevie Ray Vaughn's sweet mary had a little lamb~

Hard guitars, sing the blues.

 

Mississippi rains falling on my brains, from the gentle

sway of B.B.King

O can you hear O Charlie Brown, kickin it with his friends

way down town

 

With the sweet jazz rythms seeping into my soul!

today slides easily!

 

Hangin with roxy down in bluesville...doin it!

My old time friends sippin gin,

Hangin on the porch, smokin and eatin some chicken

 

With the sweet jazz rythms seeping into my soul!

today slides easily!

 

O sweet memories, of days far away.

Sittin under that big ole oak tree,

Hangin with my granpa all the day.

There just ain't nuttin else to say.

 

I will let those blues fill my soulm, with the jazz

warming my heart as the tampourines ring

in my ears from the days of old

 

With the sweet jazz rythms seeping into my soul.

The day slides easily!!!!!

I'm so glad I'm still be in Louisiana. I'm always telling friends here at writerscafe how much fun it is in this state. We got the best of everything.
Girl, You mentioned BB King and Grandpa and stole my heart. My pawpaw wasn't one for dancing...unless it was to the blues- BB King- our favorite.

Loved the poem.
Now, get your tail back home and let the good times roll!!!
Or should I say "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!!" ; )

You brought me smiles with this poem- Its a favorite. : )

This brought back more than one memory of the few years I lived there. Very nice!

You never fail to write fabulous poems! Lucky girl living in Louisiana. I'm a big Jazz fan myself...especially listening to it during a thunderstorm.
