Colony (Haiku) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
Aping rock to rock Crossing the Atlantic Lets kill buffalos A scorpion feast Before french toast & coffee Live cowboy stupid Powdering red skins & whiskey whore beef-jerky Winchester's Ghost-Dance Dredging their Black Hills Mount your pick of injun squaws Some home of the brave

Down the ladder: For Flight

Methinks it putrid; my wife's Ojibwa and I'm part Cherokee. But, something shimmers through.

yeah..what shimmer's through unfortunately is "truth" with an interesting twist called 'metaphor reversals' by accepting the dark you find the light...the white mans time will come..just watch africa go. whitey will be growing and pulling cotton and floating face first through thee rapids of his own undoings in no tima at all in fact it's already happening..i meant no offense..towards you and your wife, and happen to bed quite knowledgable when it comes to the total history of migrating nomadic tribes from all ages and continents...hence. my background in anthropology and history.

Squaw is mis-spelled and so is buffalo. You're a great writer, poetry, comments, confessions. I mean it.

I think the dictionary preferred plural of buffalo is buffalo, but acknowledge your poetic right to say buffalos (even though buffaloes is the second place plural form) in order to point out the cowboys' ignorance.

It is. And cowboys hardly need anything to assist their right to stupidity.
