The Texas Photographer

a poem by Sky Taylor

August sunrise, camera by his side,
Finger on the trigger & ready to ride,
To photographic adventure, blazing shots -
Of streams, of Texas plains & what-not's.

Four hours pass, he's drenched in sweat,
As he straddles a fallen log to take a sit,
To ponder his current state, more misery than joy,
The heavy bag, the pack of gnats, the things that annoy.

The streams had vanished - dried up into ruts,
The towering hills had shriveled, the trees all cut.
The plains lay empty, not even one rattlesnake,
No critters sitting out for a long sun bake.

Texas. Hell in summer, no winter at all,
Cedar breaks, grasslands - color void in fall.
Spring wildflowers could be quite nice,
But rain was iffy, like the toss of a dice.

Wyoming had bears and Yellowstone Park,
Skies black as night when it got dark.
Virginia had mountains, Colorado clear streams;
Those were the states of a photographer's dreams.

Yep, he was stuck in Texas with an anxious trigger finger,
To realize such was a real humdinger
Decided the Texas photographer, rising to stand,
The rush of leaves? Nope, just sand....

A Cowboy, a Hick & a Salt Lick - (13 pages) Heath grumbled beneath his breath and it was with great effort that he didn't reach out and strangle the hick-girl who obviously didn't know a hoot about feed. His assumption regarding her ineptness was confirmed as she hopped aside and he entered the feed store that had been there since God had created Adam. Good grief. The area looked pathetic - more like a pet brothel than a feed store! continue

English Ivy - {16 pages) "Why yes," she managed, batting her eyes swiftly over the handsome male who had rescued her.

He wasn't overly tall, yet the white Stetson he was wearing made him appear as such. From what she could glimpse beneath the hat, he had a mop of blond hair which was nowhere near a military cut. More like an American hippie from the history pages of yesteryear, she went on to decide amid her analysis.

The golden tan, the flashing white teeth and the shadow of a beard soared up Ivy's flared nostrils as she drank in the fresh air mixed with he-man. continue

Code of the Fang - (7 pages) A humorous short gothic vampire story. continue

Ghost Falls - (7 pages) A blind date delivers the girl of Joe's dreams. continue
