Kat Crane Poet Rhyme

Texan Rose

London rain and Texan skies
Warm my heart and thrill my eyes
Flooded streets and clouds for miles
Think I’ll stay here for a while

Bright red buses and trusty steeds
Carry my spirit wherever they lead
City bustling and cattle at graze
This is where I spend my days

Royal parks with Texas Rangers
Sounds of home could not be stranger
London Symphony plays Tex Ritter
Here is where you’ll see me linger

Buckingham Palace address Dealey Plaza
My horizon spans farther and vaster
Cockney slang welcomes y’all
To a place my happiness befalls

Union Jack flies Stars and Stripes
A family parted again unites
An English rose with roots state side
A love of each, to both I’m tied

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 3, 2009 at 4:59 AM Kat, This poem is so beautiful. And it shows how the love of two places can survive within a soul. Note: I love Texas skies, too. There are none quite like them. I've never been to Europe, but would love to go someday. Keep writing. You have great talent. Love, Dane
