Summer time,
Cowboy’s mountain meadows
The snows almost gone
Calving done
Time to move them
Up there near the sky
Being a good neighbor,
The trees stand tall
Braced against Stormy weather,
Facing tragedy for us all
That’s my many rambling
Or this dusty trail
Cattle low the moons
Hallowed glow
Camp fire bring back
The warmth of the sun
Night heard sings
A coyote’s sonnet
Summer time
The willows chime
Buttermilk sky
Day Dreams on the fly
Summer time breeze
A sweet hearts kiss
Romance dancing across
Of daisy blooms butters cups
And blue bells chime
To the meadow larks melody
The camp fire lick
Its coffee kiss
What beans again
Pass the brisket please
Thank you and god bless

Ok, now I REALLY want to participate in a cattle drive! :) I at least want to get out for a horseback ride. It has been too long.
P.S. I can only take credit for the words "summer time". You did all the work creating the lovely imagery with your words. :)
Can get very nostalgic reading this, reminds me of summers past and I can't wait for new ones. I do wish camping in the UK was more like how you describe it though :)
Very well written,I can actually visualize myself there..
I loved it. There were so many images and lines that I particularly enjoyed it's hard to narrow it down. Buttermilk sky..Day dreams on the fly..Cattle low the moons hallowed glow" Great stuff!
Roy - You recreated all that comes to mind for those of us in India who grew up watching Westerns and read Louis L'Amour!! And learnt to sing cowboy songs.....("I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan..I'm going to Montana to to throw the hoolihan. They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
Their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw......)..Imagine an Indian woman feeling nostalgic for something she never experienced in reality -blame it on yourself, Roy!;)
Reading it I really wished I could be a cowboy for just one night. Beautiful Roy. God bless.

Lovely
