Nevada Poem

By James B. Earley

Come along with me
To a place I know
Where tumbleweeds
And sagebrush grow

Where lizards and scorpions
Run around all day
At night the Gila monsters
Come out to play

Flash floods unleashing
A dreadful might
Howling sandstorms
In the dead of night

The place…of romance
It’s often called
They’re lying dear ones
…….I’ve seen it all
*

Imagine….the Creator
An air of great dismay
..A bowed head…’Nevada’..he said
And sadly………..walking away
