Oklahoma
Enid
The town in which I came of age
still imprints upon this very page.
Her name translates to soul,
and upon mine she oft doth pull.
Named after an idyll itself,
her history sits upon my shelf.
Enid's dubbed appropriately
from her railroads to her prairie.
The city of my youth has changed
with many buildings rearranged.
Childhood haunts fade into the past
alongside schoolmates who have passed.
No matter the years that I am gone,
upon her stories I am oft drawn.
Hometown for me she may always be,
but I can only visit her in my memory.
Dining With Your Skeleton
From the sweet simplicity of wooden sidewalks of yore—
words intricately woven by that judicious James—
your sweet wheat blows
through the fields where dreamers lay.
The gentle serenade of Hedges
waltzes with the soulful Mitchell,
carrying me beyond those rough days
spent struggling for survival.
How I admire your modern day bards,
as they fly on Pegasys wings,
igniting my soul. I study your myths,
from George to Holden to Roye.
You build the statues of my heart,
painting the dreams unending,
that carry me onward, a rooted rose rock.
I've walked your hallowed halls in exile,
with infamous grey evangelicals,
amid the Roman columns of values,
silhouetted in skies once inspiring
the likes of Cessna and Woodring, that Musketeer.
Placed my feet solid in red
