Poem Title:
Poem
The two Cowboys stood at the cliff of a great divide. Jacob stood, starring across the opening with Bill still in his saddle, close by his side. The rocky scene was like A kaleidoscope, every color, ever known. Is there any other place you would rather be Bill? Bill said, No Jacob, I don't believe so. Jacob slowly, climbed back on to his horse and pulled the reins and headed North. He started whistling a happy note and Bill listened as he followed Jacob to the valley slope. Deadwood City here we come, looking for gold and lots of fun, Jacob shouted! Yep, Bill shouted back, and we need to keep us a fully loaded gun. The Cowboys laughed out loud as they rode on. The Cowboys knew Deadwood could make a man so very rich and they had contracted the gold fever itch. The day's travel was so very long and hot, and the sun began to sink below the mountain's amber, rugged tops. They found a place to camp before nightfall and how that fire crackled as they ate beans and corn fritters, and over coffee talked. You know Bill, said Jacob. One Summer could set us straight and you could pay off the old farm and fix that crooked gate. Yeah, Bill responded and then you could marry Jenny. Maybe start a family and maybe even buy the Ole Mill. Yeah, said Jacob, so surreal. The Cowboys lay starring at the stars in the sky that clear, crisp night and dreamed of all the things that gold could buy them, until daylight. The Cowboys made Deadwood and Oh, the sights they seen. They panned every river and every stream. Then at summer's end they cashed it all in and headed back to Tennessee, to live out their lives and share with their family the story of their Deadwood dreams.
