A history of old Arizona during the cowboy and gold rush days. My poem illustrates sites that play a part of that history.
Mine for rocks with veins of gold
Worked the caves till one grew old
Gold rush days soon unfold
Gold panning with a proper just
While flat pans sift within the rust
They work all day for golden dust
Drive cattle and visit towns
Struggling cowboys, western bound
Bawling out old cowboy sounds
“Yee-haw!”
Replica buildings stand-alone
Leaning boards, but once a home
Left behind, remains unknown
Horse and carriages, trot and run
Cowboys fighting, shoot their gun
Life was, as day was done
“Yee-haw!”
Bird droppings, from where wings hover
On wagon frames with out the cover
Imagination turns the other
Once wooden wheels with iron band
Transported families across the land
Remarkable times to understand
“Yee-haw!”
Telling stories, singing songs
Pushing struggles’ right along
Hoping nothing to go wrong
Those days remembered, left behind
Old significant history’s find
Of rough and opened times in mind
“Yee-haw!”
