A Cheyenne Night

Screaming Elk scattered
The stars in the sky.

Little Bear taught the
Weeping willow how to
Cry.

Two Moons showed
The clouds how to
Cover up a clear Blue sky.

Ten Bears  taught
James Dean how to 
Die.

From my time in the Native American world, I believe this to be a beautiful poem. I have to ask if you didn't mean 'taught' every time you typed 'thought?' I really do think it is a very pretty poem and would be appreciated greatly by the right audience - me!, and, of course, others ... CayCay
