Josie L. Sullivan Dies in Tuscarora at 72
Born in Elk River, Idaho
Received her education
in Orofino, Idaho
Married in Salmon, Idaho
Ranched there.
Moved To Clayton, Idaho
Lived at the Red Bird Mine
Moved to Buffalo Valley
Moved to Tuscarora
Died there yesterday.
She was an avid hunter
and fisherman
And a month before her death
Landed a twenty-inch
Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow trout
at Wild Horse Reservoir.
Found poem, Elko Daily Free Press
December 1996
with apologies to Elizabeth Bishop
another Wow. the words bring their own images behind the frames love the rainbow repetition
ReplyDeleteAnd to think this has a lot of a found poem in it is the best
