    The Bayou

    Black magic has set the stage
    the wonders, the mysteries, and the rage
    Conjuring spirits the world has known
    deep into the bayou overgrown
    Be cautious, and fully aware
    you can not cross the threshold there
    Protection from the greater dawn
    there on the walls it is drawn
    Animals lay lifeless, enabled
    Possessed by all that is fabled
    The air is stiff, damp...cold
    answers ly hidden beneath stories untold
    Wander in if you truly dare
    where the tombs lay baron and bare
    No one can save you once inside
    peril has come to all who've tried
    Vipers shall taunt
    spirits will haunt
    It will not matter what you do
    once you've entered the bayou.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
