Larry, this is my wife's (Lynda's) painting of a "Yesterday's (sunflower) Round-Up," lol. I thought it would show a bit more of the sunflower, but she focused on the Western Boot, sorry to say.

Ali, here is a Sonnet "to boot"!
The Shrine One boot was in the stirrups when he fell while rounding up some strays that needed brands; the other one was lost along the trail. It followed near the bluffs above the sands and sediment from raging river’s bed that shaped the land; depositing its silt. The mouth and delta formed a nice homestead so that is where his house and ranch were built. Sunflower seeds were planted in one field for drying and to feed his little herds of sheep and cows. He always had good yield so there was extra seed to feed the birds. His horse came back, that boot still lodged in place so it is now a shrine; a meagre trace. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
