gone, are the banked, fluorescent colors of sunset.

This feeling hit me, like a rogue wave.

Sat at Papaw's knee, 
Watching as he whittled 
On old branches from a tree. 
    And while he talked of cowboys 
And big old Texas ranches, 
He trimmed...

She arrived from the big city
wearing a red ten-gallon hat,
and a denim stone-washed outfit
which topped off her shiny new 
cowboy boots that were designed
by Tucson Sue.

This dude ranch cowgirl had a secret,

My Mutinous Mum


I thought my own Dad was patient and so cool
And Mum’s temper; pretentious as itchy wool:
For no reason her Temper was hot, so I thought-

I'm sitting in the garden
With my small son on my knee
He looks up at me with big brown eyes
And says “Tell me about Granda's tree”

My father planted a tree 
In nineteen forty two
He nurtured it...

The Emperor of Wyoming broke camp and left
But love will keep him searching for a Heart of Gold
The Needle And the Damage Done left him bereft

Her hair flowing in the breeze 
Wearing a cowboy hat and boots 
With denim skirt above her knees 

Her steed that she rode upon 
Was as white as white...

In hope there’d be no need for...

It's time to do a round up
Not the kind you think you know

You saddle up to start the...

Dry up those eyes my little red rooster,
remember to strut your stuff.
See that silver pony in the clouds

God took six days to create this earth.
After some rest, He plotted a cowgirl's birth.

*The feline Texan way*

A clean coat of paint - on my nails
Red shade of lips - on my smile
Solid oak charms - on my wrist
Country music - around my core
Flattering eyes - a rustic shell.

a heartfelt happy embellished
his canter skilled with heavens grace
a companionship barley unblemished

Into the storm gathering speed

Of loyalty, independence, pride and downright Western class
He cocks his hat to the back of his head and lets loose an infectious grin
Testosterone overflowing he’s masculine...

A rag-a-muffin 
girl glides uneasy 
across the ice, 

That Little sprite
child was not there
to play nice.

Frusterated there's 
no one there pulling

Determined if 
anything she'll 
bring her trophy...

An' curl his lips just so
Then flash...

With posters of rodeos thumb-tacked all over her room.
She heads off to school with her lunch in a metal lunch pail—
With a picture of...
