A Cowgirl born far from home
wishin a life on an old country road
nestled back in the hills
laden with fields of green
dreams like these aren't always as they seem
But a care free beach
turned slowly into a new scene
of wild mustangs
chasing a girls dreams
the cool white sand
evolved easily into Wyoming soil
as the sun cheerfully fell into it's normal turmoil
And so began the years of play
on the imaginary shores
of a Wyoming day
Of horses, boots and buckles too
and bulls running wild
into that sky so blue
The sun grinning down
on a girl with so many wishes
turning her beautiful ocean
into sandy Cowgirl beaches
But as the years slowly passed
the tide rolled steadily in
slowly erasing where dreams began
A cowgirl grown up
with so much life to explore
gave her little time
on her once alluring shore
But the time still comes
when those beaches call out her name
and she's taken back to a time
of her life once again
And so remain the years of play
on the imaginary shores
of a Wyoming day
Of horses, boots and buckles too
and bulls running wild
into that sky so blue
The sun grinning down
on a girl with so many wishes
turning her beautiful ocean
into sandy Cowgirl beaches

A wonderful entry Veronica.....
....however, because of the length of it I have
to disqualify this Great write because of the Rules ~
I wish you could have felt my Heart as I
watched you and those wild Mustangs!
I am from the Ozark Mountains, yet love the Beach as well,
as I now live in southern CA ~
Please know that I am not disappointed in your write,
yet the Rules state ( 20 ) lines MAX!
I wish I could allow this into the POD, but it turned into a short story,
therefore, I must DQ it ~
*Bear tears as he has to deem it unfit for the POD*

Very lyrical indeed. This poem is filled with gaiety and joy. You did well with the imagery and the reality of something that you obviously love. I wish you well in the challenge.
Much Love ♥

past experoence can be re experienced
dreams washed away
are replaced by other dreams and we are still in the same spot

Nice One!
Good job on the lyrics, ma'am. I can just hear this one being sung with the guitar strumming along with it. Send me a copy of the recording cause I know you sing and sing well. And, in Wyoming too, a good cowgirl place.
