You wouldn’t believe the regalia <br />So bright with feathers and beads <br />Adorning their beautiful dresses <br />There were all the necessary needs <br /> <br />There were women of all ages ready <br />To perform with style and grace <br />Excitement steadily building <br />Smiles of expectancy on each face <br /> <br />Such careful consideration <br />And perfection of ancient tradition <br />Honoring their ancestors <br />So many important positions <br /> <br />The jewelry is so incredible <br />Rings and necklaces and such <br />Many places they can be purchased <br />We all love them so very much <br /> <br />And the men in their headdresses <br />Were so handsome with enormous flair <br />They looked so important, I’ll tell you <br />With much perfection and care <br /> <br />So if you come to town, folks <br />You’ll truly be glad that you stayed <br />To watch the yearly excitement <br />Of the 2007 Red Earth Parade!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2007-red-earth-parade/
