Out West Again!

by Susan K. Smith — Read all 16 poems by Susan K. Smith

Though a Montana girl, I had been living in New Orleans, then moved to the West coast. I was inspired seeing the open space of the West, again.

Out West Again!

Wide open spaces
Fresh air on our faces
It's good to be out West, again!

There's nothing around
Not even a town
It's good to be out West, again!

White clouds up high
On wall to wall sky
It's good to be out West, again!

Sun goes down
Sinks in the ground
It's good to be out West, again!

Stars come out
See heaven, no doubt
It's SO GOOD to be out West, again!

© July 1980, S. K. Smith

I was born and raised on the prairies of northern Alberta so I can relate to what you have expressed via your verses here, Susan. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

This poem draws the reader in, beckoning Westward. It sounds majestic! In this part of PA, hills and mountains interrupt the sweep of the sky, so we are not likely to enjoy a view like yours.
Nicely done!

Ah, the west coast has much to be proud of all the pristine beauty that unfolds leaves one breathless. Yet, there are many placed throughout this country that has remained untouched, each with its own individual beauty.....

Be always safe,
Karen

I love the open plains of the west and those star filled skies at night.
