Windmill
on the Prairie - Some of the best of "days gone by" and Yvonne's new poems. |
|
|
|
|
|
No one puts the image, heart and soul of these people into verse in
more professional manner or with more emotion than does Yvonne Hollenbeck...No
poet in America has a better feel for and understanding of the folks in our
agricultural society. She show us the struggles, the sadness, and
the humor of the folks who feed us..."
Red Steagall |

"She is the Loretta Lynn,
Dolly Parton and Dale Evans of the poetry world; she's got heart,
she's smart, and knows her way around a ranch!" Baxter
Black
"A clear and compelling voice of the plains, South Dakota ranch wife
Yvonne Hollenbeck shares he everyday life in both humorous and
thoughtful poems...An authentic American treasure, she uses her
exceptional gift in the most delightful and meaningful poetry that
touches, amuses, edifies, and entertains reader and audiences
everywhere..."

Rhyming The Range
It might seem quite unusual
and folks may think it strange
that anyone would write a poem
of life out on the range.
But it is a path to register
for other folks to see
a way of life that's fading
fast
and what it means to me.
I just might take a sudden
storm
that comes at calving time;
or perhaps a pretty sunset
and put it into
rhyme.
I want no rich reward or
fame
I only want to share
my life out on this cattle
range,
...a way of life that's rare.

Yes, this life is quickly
fading
much like the morning dew,
so stories that describe it
must be accurate and true.
And when my life is over
if one thing will remain,
...my poems about a ranch life,
then I have not toiled in vain.
So, while I'm living on this earth
there is nothing I would change
as long as I'm so fortunate
to be rhyming on the range. |
