FRONTIER TOWNStumbling over the ruts left by their wagons
Around Appaloosa hills before sundown
melts into the valleys,
Dust swirls around my sandals
whispering each name.
Traveling without a compass, I think I see
an unhinged cavalry horseshoe
Jutting out from the new earth,
A headstone of blanket flowers rises
Bright colors a mixture of Native blankets and tears.
Scattered stars in a black Dakota sky
remain the silent witnesses.
Today's Flowers, a new meme that is a virtual flower shop, gives me another opportunity to celebrate flowers. Lucky me!
Blanket Flowers are so colorful and fanciful, are hardy native prairie flowers that thrive in the Midwest.

The rose on my post is called 'Nostalgia'
I enjoyed your lovely poem and beautiful bright blanket flower.
The distinct colour changes in one flower are quite amazing! Beautiful!
I love this flower since I was a child!
My mother and my grandmother and everybody around grew them in their peasant's garden in Austria.
Nice to see it here again.
Did I understand it right that this is a prairie flower?
Now this is a meme I may have to look at! The poem is such a match connecting place and images.
Pretty poem and a lovely flower to accompany it!
