Highs and Lows

big puffy clouds rarely seen; a Georgia high soul returns to spacious place Green Valley mountain when it's red it’s time to drink On a high; these puffy clouds back in Georgia heat green leaves love this Summer treat sky eyes are dry; not a drop Green Valley cacti more than a drop of sunrise in its tequila dry heat I visit not move to the Senora Desert it creeps with dreadful shadows Georgia has its own familiar coyote, fox so I’ll stay where I belong dusty the old West drunks, soiled doves, shootouts, Cowboys you can still walk Tombstone streets bawdy brothels lined Collins Street back in the day Georgia had its fill of sins

Really liked the comparison between the old west and Georgia. I was stationed at Moody AFB in Valdosta in the mid 70's and yes GA has its own sins.

You personified this. I love the oldsie feelings invoked, like it had been a long time ago...and the return. Some things stay with us. A wonderful poem, Kim <3
