Kim Rodrigues Poet Cowboy Poetry

Spurs Are Loose

the twang of her country boots
       slipping, sliding on peanut shells
               spurs are loose, on the run
  her tongue like a silver bell

                        Jimmy fringed suede
                         swaying side to side
                             this cowgirl raves
with a wink and a down-home grin

                           simplicity cascades
              from her resplendent crown
                  her slender fingers strum
her cordial gee-tar

        yee-haw,           the crowd lauds
                  loud and proud of the star
                       she twinkles and soars
high-fiving the lights of the ebony sky

Panagiota Romios November 15, 2019 at 7:47 AM Great description. I never was a cowgirl, but I had a costume when I was ten that I wore a lot. I had spurs, too. You reminded me of those long ago days. Guitar came in my 30's. And love horses. This is a fun piem. Kim Rodrigues November 15, 2019 at 7:50 AM Thank you, sweet lady!
