Louis Brown Jan 2011 The Old Magnolia Tree Beneath the old magnolia tree I used to hold you close to me And there I carved upon that tree That I loved you and you loved me Beneath the white magnolia blooms You cast a spell with your perfume I believed those wooden words were true Ingrained in hearts of me and you But time wears out what boys engrave Nothing's left of the love you gave Except that old magnolia scar.... I wish our love had come so far Yeah, I wish those words were still on track Cause every spring I dream me back To tender lips and sweet perfume Beneath the white magnolia blooms But time wears out what boys engrave Nothing's left of the love you gave Except that old magnolia tree Reminding me.....reminding me...... Copyright Louis Brown ------ This was a poem I wrote to honor Mr Brown whom I sadly never got to know but was a brilliant poet on HP! Miss his verse... Ode To Mr. Louis Brown We wish we knew you Mr Brown
 The lights glow dim in Poetry Town
 We stand beside Magnolia trees
 And pray your soul is fancy free

 I read your verse with teary eyes
 And hope that I can be as wise
 You were a gentle soul of song
 The joy you brought is just as strong 

 I'm glad your verse you did not brave Upon Magnolias to engrave
 Your words of wit are safe with me
 For Poetry Town is your tree! 

 Unlike that old Magnolia tree
 Poetry Town is full of spree
 She was a fool to lose your crown 
But we'll always love you Mr. Brown!

Mr Louis Brown has a phenomenal body of work on HP and plz visit his collection if you're searching for poets to read. He has great meter verse and rhyme in his poetry given that he was an accomplished songwriter as well.
