Book Spine Poetry: Prairie Heart

Prairie earth, blue sky dream --
the prairie traveler in the new world,
a natural state, where the buffalo roam,
rising from the plains, the Great Plains.
The diversity of life: the birds, grasses,
trees and shrubs, the land that feeds us.
Bring back the buffalo!  In wildness
is the preservation of the world.

August



Dragonflies hover,
swirling over the prairie:
jeweled armada.
