PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My pistol is loaded as I head

                         out for

                   the Wild West

Tales of Buffalo hunts

                        and killer coyotes

                  have been

                       fed my head

and I really wonder

I hop on my horse

                     and we head

                              toward Reno

leaving “sane” society behind

3 motorcycles without drivers

                          slowly

                 pass before us

The trucks and Pintos

                   and rabbits

               all pass before us

(a race with a rabbit?

            sorry wrong story)

The promised land lies

                      over

             the mountains

                   but there’s

3 mountains to cross

So we head to California

                     and wonder

              what’s in store

The sun is sinking faster

                so I know

        I’m on my way
