Louisiana

What a romantic place Or so they say A place for love On a hot summers day The sweet smell of cape jasmine Lingers in the air Bees swarming As if in despair The clouds floating In the bright blue sky The breeze has escaped It didn’t even stop to say goodbye Sweat rolls down my face Leaving me with a dusty trace The sun beats down Watching the temperature rise There isn’t a place For a shadow to hide The creek so cool To take a dip Have some refreshments Take a sip Children laughing Lovers in gaze These are the hot Louisiana days
