A Pelican Breeze

Louisiana bayou Moon

In the pelican breeze is tulip trees
and green-gray Spanish moss is swaying.
Scent of magnolia flutters like chemise
in a distance saxophones are playing.

Piano fingers playing Creole blues
and guitars playing a dixieland tune.
Beads of purple, green and gold hues
beneath Louisiana's bayou moon.
 
Majestic old oaks posing gracefully
in shadows of southern moonlight.
A little blue heron wading patiently
within the cypress of a swampland night.
In the pelican breeze is tulip trees
New Orleans moon is shining bright.

Very beautiful poem, I love the references to pelicans and New Orleans.

Thank you very much...Im glad you enjoyed my poem...at first I had Mardi gras breeze but changed it because pelican is the state bird.

[Thornbirds]

I think it gave it an original flair, much better than the over used breeze, good call imho

I don't know how i missed this gorgeous little poem,i felt as though i was actually riding on the breeze as it swept me gently along through the essence of a Louisiana evening. I wanted to inhale the scents, sounds and images.
