Frontier

Ladies in Texas
Are often frontier
Divas skilled in the
Arts of presentation
Fandangos to rodeos
Graceful in a land that is
No place for old men only
Those still dangerous fitting
Consorts for frontier divas who
Know a French pastry from a
Glazed cow patty at a BBQ.
I fondly recall oll the Texas
Divas, I grew up alert to
Their powers of charm
Openly admiring their
Ability to make room
For raising a family
While still being
Beautiful and
An honor to
Be with at
A market
Or more
Formal
Locale
Always a
Graceful Texas
Frontier diva and
Always more dangerous
Than their gallant consorts.
But most of all I recall how
Consistently kind they
Were to those less
Knowledgeable
Than they and
How patient
They were
With kids
Of all ages
Motivating with
A glance cast down
Or right into your eye
Frontier divas could
Rope and hog-tie
The rough galuts
Who never felt
The bit and
Harness
Guiding.
