Sagebrush of the West
Bouquet of the West,
It's not easy to pass.
Flower of the desert,
Ruthless rout of the grass.
Painters see the art
In rolling mass of spheres.
Fortress of the desert
Where stout sagebrush appears.
A deer's dainty feet
Will find a way to pass,
To walk through desert sagebrush,
Sole welcomed to trespass

Sagebrush Sam was tired of blowing
His impatience was keenly showing
Always in sandy land that needed no mowing
He yearned for Iowa where it was snowing

Sagebrush Ranch
SAGEBRUSH RANCH
holding his small hand,
jumping up and down,
in the silver box —
a playground with mirrors
and three buttons.
people that look like us
are all around.
when the box is full
they disappear.
the ding-ding sounds
and doors part ways,
as we exit into the gallery,
where only grandma takes note
of the paintings that blur
as we hurry to the Sagebrush Ranch.

Sagebrush Saga Weed Two Day
...and possesses means
and tees to till verse
akin to a sorceress
who waves magic wand
to produce such supreme sentences
and weaves tantalizing
terrific topographic tundra's
that this admirer of her artful
and colorful poetic endeavors
prompts him to accompany
Gaia as thought-provoking troubadour
amidst the information
super byways and highways
along winding labyrinths
of critical thinking
or simply stepping cobble

Under - Toe (Sagebrush Fire)
Ime calling unto you
cause i dont know what to do
the sand giving way
underfoot
towing me away
to where angels often put
sagebrush candles
drywash weathered vanes
rusted simple somethings that mean
just the same
as the feeling I get
when calling yr name....
