Devil's Hidden Ranch

DEVIL'S HIDDEN RANCH Coyote howl, dogs growl Gunshots, dead cow Red barn left unlock Horseshoe upon death's door Tequila in a cup Salt of cocaine, shadows of insanity Guitar string, sad song Bandit near the door, wife on the floor Hallucinating---Reality Yelling out her name, he's gone insane Loaded gun, life is done Far and near ending his intoxicating fear The road under the sun A coward in his path Responding to the Devil's wrath In a Hidden Ranch in Mexico!!!!!! :) SKAT

SKAT A . . . I was checking out your poetry here from the past. This write is quite interesting and intriguing. The imagery you used here is quite enchanting and captures the reader's attention at once!! This would not be a very nice ranch to visit. Most Excellent Write!! Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary

nice art, well articulated...the 'o' sound throughout adds to the dark meaning of the poem...Allan....
