Three new poems written in late January have now been posted on my website.
Jinglin’ Spurs Things can get pretty eerie when you’re riding on a moonless night.
Western Wife This is a tribute to the wives of those who dared move into the unknown territory of the American West. Somehow many survived, some thrived, and some died along the way.
Waltz of the Weeds The tumbleweed, the weed of the west, is also somewhat a weed of mystery. A variety is said to be a native of North America while another variety is said to have “immigrated” as a stowaway in loads of grain received from Europe in the late 1800s. The young plants are even edible and supplanted the pioneer diet. But you’ve seen nothing until you’ve seen the Waltz of the Weeds.
