The Land in Cowboy Poetry

Why weather and terrain shape the voice of a range poem.

The land is more than scenery when the work depends on it. Wind changes a ride; rain changes a road; a broken fence changes the morning. Specific details give a Western poem its weight.

Read Prairie Whispers for a morning scene, then write four lines about a place you know well enough to notice when something is out of place.
