a small notion of childhood

if i take you south where the cudzoo fills the woods and the possum takes strolls in the night....
you'd find yourself surrounded by crowds of molting locusts
leaving a sound of summer on high
an aroma of the sasafras breeze squeezes politley through the wisest of the trees
as memories pass my tounge unto you i speak of my home with ease
so while dreaming of the wind pulling saw grass in a dance,
find yourself before you leap
in the south there is a way of life whose flickers do stay in your mind so deep
far away is this place i speak ,and many moons in between since i've seeked
yet anything i have found along side has never been quit so sweet

I love the imagery, its a beautiful piece of art.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
