I celebrate the beauty of the Plains
sun rises over buttes and badlands
sea of grass meets rolling hills
prairie wildflowers bend in the wind
raptors circle cumulus skies

Lovely. Reminds me of America, the Beautiful.
I thought about “My Antonia” and the lovely descriptions when I saw this poem last night. I really like the alliteration in “buttes and badlands.”
