BLUEBONNET SONNET
by Jeff Callaway
Barbed wire to keep the cows inside the field
Lounging longhorns in bluebonnets and green
Un-cut grass that the wind in Spring does wield
Even wilder than gunslingers have seen
Blue bullets shot from a gun to the sun
Ornery children of Texas in bloom
New blooms can be like love in Spring is fun
Nestling me drunk inside their soft loom
Electric heaven in blue was this sight
To quiet the cows and accent the day
Like a painter can un dim a vague light
Or poets can find the bright words to say
Very bright Texas flowers love bold words
Even flying poems like mockingbirds
