By: Tom Wright
5/29/99
In life's twilight, your youth, having long been spent.
I've observed you pass the hours, reading western novels,
visiting with friends who drop in or phone,
and reflecting to those times...

All Alone
Walking up a sandy draw-
Out in the desert land...
An oddity is what I saw,
Have buried in the sand.
“Saddlebags!” is what I thought,
“Dried up, and nearly gone.”
I wondered how they came to be,
Here in the sage...

Coping Skills
(Family heirloom, Persian Gharajeh rug)
Coping Skills
The world is certainly not as it should be.
Maybe it’s always been that way,
But now we know 24/7.
So we each and all cope as best we can.
For some this can...

I am not a cowboy, though I wear a cowboy hat
and the boots I wear have pointed toes and heels that ain’t near flat.
I want to be a cowboy, but I’m stopped by one condition

Wistful Aging
Age gracefully…that’s what I’ll do
Going to ignore the lines, how about you?
Inner beauty is what really counts
I happen to love my drooping mounts
Absolutely no Botox or fillers for me
Another varicose vein, Yipee
I’ll learn to love...

Lord, I'M Ready
Grew up a country bumpkin,
known the freedom that entails,
worked hard to make a livin',
walked down some dusty trails.
Ma an' Pa was hard on me,
said it was for my good,
but I lit out real early
just to...

What Have You Done
You own the spotlight at every premier.
The paparazzi hone the tip of your spear.
You scoff at rumors you were ever the one,
But what have you done?
Your limo whisks you away from the curb.
You've always got...

Wild Lightning, Spooks and Me
I'm as free as the wind as I sway in the saddle!
I love life! There's no clutter, nothing to addle!
I give my faithful horse Wild Lightning free rein,
As we meander across God's magnificent terrain!

A Visit From Some Old Friends
A Visit From Some Old Friends
(Thanking Carl and Phyllis)
By Franklin Price
10/02/2015
A visit from some old friends
Turns back the hands of time
Back to the days of riding
And maybe misdemeanor crime
Met them in the HOG club
The Harley...

Are Horses As Brave As Cowboys
Their bridled haunt, each day may be their last; yeehaw.*
The narrow way, down mountainside, and clop of shoes.
The saddlebags dip left and right in gait and gnaw.
The spirit wind and pouring rain their hoofs refuse.
Begs...

Getting Deputized
Round up the posse,
get ‘em vetted Oval Office ganksterized
Appoint the piggy snouts,
then send ‘em out
with metal sidearm power
Ancient oppression done got modernized,
old Egypt Memphis is new Phoenix on the rise
OK the corruption,
legalize the blind Corral...

Braced For War
Braced for War
The atmosphere is rigidly braced.
The boots of warriors are tightly laced.
Water horns are filled to the brim.
Staples in saddlebags bulge their rims.
Armies flank the four winds in preparation
Lightening in their eyes they fight...

Quest For Gold
painted desert lay before them
hills with rings of gold and amber clay
few plants, scarce water
just a coyote or roadrunner
on horseback they rode
dreaming of hidden gold
saddlebags filled with mining tools
but not one nugget of treasure
badlands had...

Just About Gone
I’ll be just about ready when it’s just about time
To do whatever needs to be done.
With my Winchester loaded and my bay freshly shod,
I’m riding off to seek the setting sun.
Since it’s just...

Christmas On Hooves
Pony Express Christmas Card Ride
You asked about our Christmas here.
Do reindeer pull the sleigh
to carry loads of gifts and cheer?
Hoofed beasts we have, they eat fine hay
and in the rain or snow and cold

Gaia
Walk outside
open your eyes
leave yourself behind
and take in what your mother is giving you freely -
have a look at that flower
notice the symmetry of it all
a perfect mandala
a reflection of your mother's divine nature and...

Of Man
Crest
Pinnacle
Wings displaying full splendor
Sigh of relief
The weight removed
Lasoe
Net the mare
The veil removed
Relization, comprehension
Harnesed on, like saddlebags
Crack of the whip
The plummet of wingless flight
The rugged thump and tumble
The drizzle of rain
The harsh pity of defeat
Racking sobs,...
