Notes About The Poem

Into the Badlands

Into the Badlands she rode, with spurs lightning fast.
Her chocolate stallion, her wild companion,
slows in the maco sica, a dry and dusty forecast.
Into the Badlands she rode, with spurs lightning fast.
a slim cigarette and weathered face, built to outlast
a South Dakota storm and browbeat Hell’s canyon.
Into the Badlands she rode, with spurs lightning fast
Her chocolate stallion, her wild companion.

This had so much energy I was completely enamored, wishing I had not chosen the same theme!
