Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

As Those Western Blue Skies Up and Roared

As Those Western Blue Skies Up And Roared

Cowboy rode his horse, gentle on the reins
crossing hot prairie, while in lonesome pains
yet rainbow song played in beating heart
for soon he and his love, would never part.

She a beauty with only eyes for he
with an eager love larger than a sea
her gentle touch, her lips gave sweet treasure
she gave hope, in an unequal measure.

From hill crest he soon saw her standing there
in her radiant glow, nothing more fair
spurring faithful mount, to her arms he went
to ravenous angel heaven surely sent!

As those western blue skies up and roared
Cowboy knew Love, he had truly scored!

Lawrence Sharp August 21, 2019 at 12:07 AM I'm sorry I have not been around to read and comment on the many works you've produced in the last while, Robert... poetry has been very far from my mind of late... this is a fantastic sonnet to come home to, though. Excellent poetry, my friend, as always. Robert Lindley September 10, 2019 at 4:09 PM Thank you my fine friend. Always a pleasure to hear from you and know you are still engaged in writing/reading poetry.

Tom Cunningham August 20, 2019 at 5:02 PM What a great experience that was Robert, I'm a great lover of westerns and could just picture the scene. Tom Robert Lindley September 10, 2019 at 4:07 PM Thank you my friend. Your great kindness is a blessing.

Kim Merryman August 20, 2019 at 1:16 PM That must have been some dream! A lovely cowboy sonnet, Robert! Blessings, Kim Robert Lindley August 20, 2019 at 1:20 PM Thank you my friend. Yes it was and it was as I if I had been transported back in time to both view from afar and also live and see it...

Robert Lindley August 20, 2019 at 1:14 PM Written from a very vivid dream I had last night. I guess I've watched a thousand cowboy shows in my log life, but this dream seemed so real. Delayed writing this but somehow it forced me to sit down and compose, as the pressure to compose just became truly immense.
