Simple Life

Poet:  Ken Jordan
Poem:  Simple Life
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan
written:  July/2015


I don't want
a 
Victorian,

on 
the waterfront,

with
a
Baby Grand
piano

In
the window -

I don't want
to
own

a house
in
the mountains,

to
watch
the falling
snow
in
winter -

What
I really want,

Is
No Frills

simplicity -

I can live
without

Horseback 
riding
on
the lagoon -

I'm 
not the
one

to fly

in 
a 
Hot Air balloon -

I don't need
a
Yacht 
in
the harbor,

I don't wish
to sail,
the 
seven seas -

I just want
peace,

somewhere
out on
the
open range,

where cattle
graze -

where wind
bends,

tall grass
to
leaning -

Where 
corn
grows like 
hay -

I don't need
a 
nine course
meal,

in a
five star
restaurant -

No 
flashing
neon lights,

Champaign 
or
caviar -

I just want 
to
be free,

out
in
the open
air,

where 
wild horses
roam -
