A Place Called Jackson Poem by Joyce Hemsley
A Place Called Jackson
With tearful eyes I said my goodbyes
To Aunt and Uncle, many years ago.
Their home was Jackson Tennessee
Where Pearl River waters floweth free.
Elvis~ a friendly potentate
Was their 'Rock-a-Billy' man so great,
Now, in mid August of each year
The constellation of Jackson churches
Pay homage to that name so dear.
Leaving! ! After a long stay. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Congratulations, Joyce, on having this selected as member poem of the day. I hope you are still with us and in good health. It has been more than five years since you posted anything to this site. Happy 88th birthday coming up this month!
Beautiful portrayal of the atmosphere at place visited by the poet long back. The place also boasts of some well known annual events. Loved reading the poem. Thanks.
A beautifully conceived equally beautiful song of life. Congrats.
I love Joyce’s poem. We used to e-mail years back. I lost track and I sad about that
My second visit to this poem is equally rewarding. This lends the place being described here a special touch with a nostalgic charm. Thanks again.
With tearful eyes I said my goodbyes To Aunt and Uncle, many years ago. Nostalgic, very tragic to leave the dear one. Thanks poet. 10
