Patricia Neely-Dorsey's Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia

- About Me:
- My name is Patricia Neely-Dorsey. I am from Tupelo, MS. I recently returned to my hometown in August 2007,after living almost 20 yrs in Memphis , TN working in the mental health field. In February 2008,I published my first book of poetry entitled Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia-A Life In Poems. It is a true celebration of the south and things southern. There are so many negative connotations associated with Mississippi and the south in general. I want to show a flip side of the coin. There is much to love about this much maligned and misunderstood part of our country. In my book, I attempt to give a positive glimpse into the southern way of life.

SOUTHERN LIFE
If you want a glimpse of southern life,
Come close and walk with me;
I'll tell you all the simple things,
That you are sure to see.
You'll see mockingbirds and bumblebees,
Magnolia blossoms and dogwood trees,
Caterpillars on the step;
Wooden porches cleanly swept;
Rocking chairs and front yard swings
Junebugs flying on a string
Watermelons on the vine
Stong majestic Georgia pines
Turnip greens and hot cornbread
Coleslaw and barbecue
Fried okra, fried corn, fried green tomatoes
Fried pies and pickles too
There's ice cold tea that's syrupy sweet
And cool green grss beneath your feet
Catfish nipping in the lake
And fresh young boys on the make
You'll see all these things
And much much more;
In a way of life, that I adore.
