Song Of The Sagebrush

Show And Tell Friday: "Sagebrush Smog"

I thought I'd share my 2nd place creative writing entry from the Fall Festival.  My first place entry is here, I posted it back in August, when I first wrote it.  The fair theme was "Masquerade".


“SAGEBRUSH SMOG”

 

Sagebrush smog!

The masquerade?

 

In city life

 

I'd not evade

 

The dusty rusty roots I've grown...

 

Sagebrush gal,

 

And sagebrush home.

 

 

 

Sagebrush smog!

 

The dust shall rise...

 

Twister headin' for

 

Bright blue skies.

 

A sagebrush gal,

 

I'd rather die,

 

True to simple, humble days,

 

True to starlit, midnight gaze

 

Of a quiet desert life,

 

Far from the masquerade

 

Of the citified,

 

A world of sagebrush ways.

 

 

 

 

A sagebrush gal, I'm glad to be;

 

A sagebrush gal, I'll surely stay.

 

Dust of simplicity clinging to me,

 

I'll cling to that sagebrush smog

 

And skip the masquerade.


A.D.W.




Well, hope you all like my "little ditty"!  For more about our fair experience, you can check out this entry, and don't miss the baby chick pics in the post below.  The lone little chick is active and noisy, especially at night!  And, did I mention the red slider turtle given to us earlier in the week?  From someone at dh's work.  Soon to come, perhaps...reptile entries other than snakes.  We're studying the animal kingdom right here in our little corner of the universe!

 

Be sure to check out other show and tell entries at CanadaGirl's site!   Blessings!


****I'm having some trouble with glitches here on my blog this morning...entries referenced here aren't showing up for me, all of a sudden, and from what I see in my management pages, they should be posting?  Sorry if you're not seeing links and posts I've mentioned.

Oh, I love the poem! As you can see from the picture at the top of my blog, I'm obviously not a sagebrush gal, but I still love the poem. I can't do poetry like you can. ;-)
