Rodeo Beauty
Sporting fringed buckskin
tight fitting jeans
pink cowboy boots with
a hat to match
She rides tall into
the dusty arena
galloping toward the barrels
focused and free
Long dark hair blowing
in the dry desert wind
bouncing with the
gait of her horse
Smiling, she turns
casting a look that
personifies the definition of
'beauty' in the West
