Tennessee Sunshine Poem

By Abu Tarek Md Tahsin

all along the river
through the valley
of the Tennessee plains

sings she
of blue jays
and blues
under the warmth
of the mid-summer rain

and she sings
in raucous melody
of songs sung
in memory

of days passed
silently under the
stillness of the
great Tennessee plains

oh she sings
of Tennessee sunshine
oh she sings
of passersby
and
of memories
as old as wine.
