Family History Part 01 Poem by Cowboy Ron Williams

Family History Part 01

Rating: 5.0


My Grandfather Clark Williams rode horseback,
from Grover, Wyoming to Park City, Utah,
leading three work horses to sell to the booming
silver mine there.

He finally returned home,
but a few weeks later than planned. With great relief,
they saw him approaching the house down the lane on his
horse. Something was different though; he was carrying
much more than the family's needed cash!

Alongside him
in the saddle was his new bride that he had courted,
or lassoed, into marriage while in Park City.

I was going to say: " except for breaking your write/'poem' into stanzas/paragraphs, this doesn't seem poem-like to me." But, i just read your Poet's Notes and see you agree. A family history is interesting, esp. as this one 'starts'. i may visit the other parts of history later. bri, :)

Its a very good poem. When are you riding out in your red limo and come home with boot full of benjamins and lovely lass to boot....or have you done it already.
