About ME!
I AM FROM
I am from King Arthur’s Court, the Village of the Archer. From three wheeling, "range maggot" chasing and frog hunting. From cow ranchers in Illinois where solitaire was competitive & sugar free soda pop was a special treat! I am from Mountain Man Rendezvous Where my fingers fiddled through warm leather Fringe smelling of gunpowder smoke. Where mother wore moccasins, weaving sashes in the dust. I am from art class at Bush Barn. From Passé, & Sauté, “Five, Six, Seven, Eight!” From raspberry chlorine summers in cold morning air And Monday library bus trips, pay-ride-read! I am from casserole dinners (where vegetables hide). From Dagwood burgers and Dad’s elk steak, From oyster stew at Christmas & GG's pumpkin pie. I am from summer mountain air where vacations Are dust, blisters, trails. Historical museums, ranger’s stations, Big boots and bugs and 180° views. I am from a family of learns and teachers that start all the way down our family tree from the roots of my genetic history. (2012) |
