Westward Peace
When he leaves It takes everything in me To not follow If he can’t lead So far east That the sun too flees From mornings of sorrow For westward peace And it soothes to be held To be loved like I am someone else Still the fool, never quelled Loving him as I should myself...

Westward wanderlust, Wagon waltzes with Winter wine, White watercolor walleye, windy-wallop. Wading where wafers wage war, Where warmth wanes without warning. Wary whispers; weather will weather, whatnot. ...

Westward in the winter mist unwavering wing-beat rhythm thrusting purposeful powerful pale creatures of a pale world, outstretched magnificence reshaped from the haughty elegance of arched necks and curved wing-folds white on a summer’s placid lake. On a cold foggy morning in Dorset, England, in January, 1992, I heard the distinctive wingbeats of swans approaching. Three of them passed by just to the north of me, giving me a very brief view...

Azure Dreams Unfolding Westward
In the dance of thoughts, we twirl, a symphony of whispered musings. Words, delicate as a butterfly's kiss, flutter from our lips, sometimes exquisite, sometimes in the gentle decay of letters. Oh, how we interweave with the tapestry of our innermost reflections, uttering soliloquies to the silent echoes. Each syllable, a gem of contemplation, we carefully place within the gardens of afterthoughts, a secret burial...

"Westward, further out ..." Dusk washes over you warm like honey saltry and sweet immersed in amber tones of apricot alerts and rose swirling unfurling peonies the blooming silent dancing clouds rush over white horses crashing against bracken green emeralds the depths open and unfathomable, who can read the eyes of an unexplored ocean, the shallows slide under your feet, you...

Westward
As the scorching earth turns the parched earth to dust, Making each day an effort to continue yet we know we must. Behind them was Missouri and the life we had, It was a happy life until things went bad. Papa tried to make it work and for a while he did. It was not long after the war things...

The Westward Wind
The Westward Wind The westward wind whistled, As it whisked wildly pass, Weeping willow trees. Weary eyed women watched, As winters wayward wrath, Wreaked havoc through its breeze. Waffling warm winds weaving, As wounded workers, Walked, the winding path. Wailing Whippoorwills whispered, Welcoming words of warmth, From the westward winds aftermath!

The Westward Trail
How fast does the river flow Michael? How deep and wide did you say? The wagon need to cross this river And cross it not tomorrow but today The summer will soon turn to autumn And the axes are sharpened and honed And mama is needing somewhere to rest And that somewhere is mama’s new home So cross the river with care son And...

Westward Ho
How was the West really won? Also how a sunset meant you were done In a town called CENTER GULCH, TEXAS, it was a busy affair of stagecoaches and Sheriff Toby Jackson He was a Sheriff that kept order in town being his action But it took a little persuasion Those stagecoaches in their days made your butt so...

(Blank Verse Sonnet) The wagons slice a trail across the plains in search for gold or land to claim and build abodes where independence rules supreme; my great-grandfather leads them west for gain all while his wife and sons work on the farm. The trails he carves become long rails of iron throughout a nation sworn by force of law – that each...

The ground is damp it bleeds through my thin cotton skirt. Crest born, I sit and wait the dawn. My fingers weave into the high rye grass. The house below is quiet still. The children sleep. The dog’s with me. We sit high upon the hill. Peaceful heart, Venus I spy the morning star, the moon, and dawn, God could see them in my...

Westward Ho'
In the 1600's, Europeans lived on the eastern shore Their numbers grew, they wanted more. Iroquios, Sauk, Ottawa, and Mohawk were tribes they met Too many and more, paid our forefathers' debt. Men moved west thru the Cumberland gap Daniel Boone led them, wearing a coonskin cap. Freedom's new country was born in 1776 The indians, however, did not fit our mix. Lewis...
