I'm Not Going Back To Mamou

ForeverJesus7

I might go,

to Louisiana,

but I am not,

going back to Mamou.

If she wants to visit me in Florida,

that is fine,

but I am not,

going back to Mamou.

I lived there for a few months,

and I nearly cracked.

A man from South Florida,

does not belong,

in an icolated place,

of three-thousand and one.

So I am not going back.

Everything there,

I can easily do without.

As for their cajun accent,

half of the time,

I do not even know,

what they are talking about.

Maybe I will think,

about revisiting New Orleans,

or maybe Baton Rouge.

I might even consider,

revisiting Lafayette,

but I am not,

I repeat,

I am not,

going back to Mamou.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The 'she', written in the fifth line is referring to my ex-wife. I spent a very short time, living in Mamou, Louisiana. It did not go well for me. Leaving there was the right decision for me. At the time I was feeling extremely down. Thankfully, now I can wright this piece out of good humor. Jesus saves. Persistence is key
