A play of words: Gunfight At The O.K. Corral

Sunlight On The Collectors Quill

Patience meets a quietude of Rosewood,
a quill twixt fingers, held in the left hand.
The trophy collector shares his boyhood,
as a quill fairs right assign no men's land.

A quill twixt fingers, held in the left hand.
A hallway clock grows in the midday sun,
as a quill fairs right assign no men's land.
Two men stand, no one out, son of a gun.

A hallway clock grows in the midday sun,
The trophy collector shares his boyhood.
Two men stand, no one out, son of a gun.
Patience meets a quietude of Rosewood.

It required great inspiration to write a pantoum. You did it quite well.

Ah, time for a breather of peace after a wagon train surrounded by babies—I wrote a parody of my title after your comment. Alohy William
