Country boy at heart
the city faces scare me
the constant noise
drowning out my thoughts.
People rushing
when they don’t have to
always gotta be somewhere
in the city.
Road works fill the streets
while the road workers whistle.
It’s not charming
much like gristle.
But, for all its downfalls
it has some perks.
The bright lights,
the restaurants,
the nightlife,
appeals to some.
Not to me,
this modern-day cowboy
sticks to his farm,
where he belongs.
This modern cowboy knows what’s up!
Loved it 🙂
Pretty darned cool to know where you belong and vibe it all the way!
You did fine work with describing city life. I hope you have also written about the farm life to help us recognize its finest points.
I haven’t! But I should. Maybe next year 🙂
Thanks.
Love the comments to your poem and agree that a companion piece with life in the country would be perfect! I feel the too fast pace and rush of the city in how you purposely kept your lines short – this worked well!
Thanks Cristy.
Ironically – I’m moving to the city in a couple of weeks’ time. Just for something different, so maybe my opinion will change.
