My first book of poetry:
Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia- A Life In Poems
*Link to book on Amazon.com*
Published February, 2008 (Grant House Publishers).
My second book of poetry:
My Magnolia Memories and Musings -In Poems
*Link to book on Amazon.com*
Published February 2012.
I call both books a "celebration of the south and things southern". Using childhood memories, personal thoughts and dreams, I attempt to give a positive glimpse into the southern way of life. There are so many negative connotations associated with Mississippi and the south in general. I want to show a flip side of the coin.
There is much to love about this maligned and misunderstood part of our country. I would really love for you to get to KNOW Mississippi (and the south) in a different light.
I have made it my life mission to be a cheerleader of
Mississippi and all things southern !!!
PLEASE come and ~FRIEND~ me on Facebook .....
Kick back, put your feet up and let's chat ....

FRONT PORCH by Patricia Neely-Dorsey
Come sit a spell . . . . . .
FRONT PORCH
(Hospitality Headquarters)
Just the spot
For taking in a cool breeze
And watching the world go by
Friends and neighbors out
For a leisurely stroll
Stop and sit a spell.
"Lemonade"?
"Iced Tea"?
“Co-Cola?”
"Did you hear about...?"
"Do Tell!"
"You Don't Say!"
"My, how the time flies"
"Y'all come back, now"
"You hear? "

Sally Kate Winters Memorial Park - West Point Mississippi
The charm of West Point Mississippi ~ the hometown of both of my parents ~
will hold you spellbound, as you stroll along her quaint downtown
sidewalks and through her picturesque park.

The beautiful wisteria is out in full bloom on this summer day ......
Sally Kate Winters, was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. C. Preston Winters of West Point, Mississippi. She died tragically in a car accident on April 11, 1965, just two months shy of graduation from the University of Mississippi.
The Sally Kate Winters Memorial Park was created when Mr & Mrs Winters purchased downtown property from the Illinois Central Railroad and donated it to the city and the community.

My Magnolia Memories and Musings - Book Review
Amazon.com book review
"If you have never been to the true south. The south where respect
is shown with Sir and Maam by young and old. Where the life is laid back and
the living is easy, where you don't have to know someone to wave to them then
you need to read the latest release My Magnolia Memories and Musings by
Patricia Neely- Dorsey.
Ms. Dorsey is a native southerner. Being southern is not learned it is bred
and she is a true bred southerner.
She takes the reader down country roads, in country churches, around supper tables, the cotillions which were a girls coming out party and last but not least she show the reader the true Steel Magnolias. The southern women who have a iron fist in a velvet glove.
As I read her poems it took me back to a simpler time when doors were left unlocked and people sat on the front porch and waved to passersby. To warm summer nights and sweet ice tea.
As a true southern girl I miss my southern state. I miss the slow talk the slow walk
and the easy living. This book gets five stars only because I can't give
it any more, because there are no more"
