Prison Dixie An orange glow reigns down Upon concrete paths. Ash flails as it falls. Vanished pine needles Blackening the ground beneath. Drifting along sidewalks. Ominous haze hangs air As darkness eases over the land. Masked, I move through quiet eerie. Razor wire towers above. Souls remain inside the concrete walls As I exit the gates in cowardice. Dixie is fierce. She grasps the breath of a...

I hear the bells ringing, in the church where I was raised. Mama took us faithfully, praying we'd be saved. After years of wandering, I'm going back today. Six carrying my pine box to the field where I shall lay. I left our farm two years ago, just barely twenty-one. I rode away with rebel pride, some water...

Dancing the Dixie Dough Ray Dew Left foot danced faster than her Shoe She kicked it off and it really flew, Disqualified now and so angry too! Got so mad she had the loudest boo-hoo Never again danced the Dixie Dough Ray Dew Left the dance hall in the form of a shrew Mad at those of us who had teased her...

I recall similar signs and notices of ironic appeal: "We have a zero-tolerance policy against bullying" ripped and torn, and is that a dried yellow yolk stain? "This is a NO GUNS neighborhood" surrounded by a lot vacant except for weeds mulched in broken shards of glass. ZERO CRIME AREA notices as prolific as NO HUNTING signs in SureWood Forest. Me thinks we protest too much to not raise questions about...

I can smell the seasons change in the land I was born piercing my soul. I can taste the flavor of the rain from inside looking out the window on stormy dayz. Memories of my childhood when I explored and played. Honey suckles, plum trees, red clay running though my veins and bloodline. Pollen season...

Dixie Rose You are an enduring natural beauty of immeasurable quality. The blanket of pink flowers that embrace your lovely branches conceal an internal strength and a unique unwavering grace for not even the torrential flood waters of life or the relentless savagery of a soulless pair of hands could overcome your will and stubborn resilience to rip you out by the...

The issue's not yet signed and sealed. Three cogent answers hold the field, and no-one knows which is the best. I'll set them out before you, lest the question go a-begging. ...

Dixie Born, Black History Month 2017 Curtis Johnson Dear Delta Dixie: In the late summer of 1949, I was born just off highway 49 not far from your mighty waters. I moved away in 1967, and was ashamed and embarrassed to be native born within your borders. In my early years, I learned to read, write, and do arithmetic in your...

A land unto its own as old as dirt Condemned by voguish northern state of mind This realm you'd be hard-pressed to disconcert Though his'try would prefer it be maligned The secret twisted oak and winding creek The tapestries of moss that grace the swamp They whisper in a language few can speak Revealing true that fair southern beauchamp There is no match...

Descending the hill, they danced to old reels Most composed with a Southerner's pen Four years the blood spilled, half a million were killed But the States were united again Celebration complete, the Rebs left Tennessee The young soldier said, "Sarge, no more slaves Just one thing bothers me, they were already free From the bulk of those sent to their graves" And...
