Kootenai Canvas: Ode To The West Way
Tom Davenport/Spokesman-Review
Still a little early for a dove or sun tanning, a moose works on its summer coat by nibbling branches in front of one of the most treacherous bridges in the area. - Photo by Tom Davenport - The Dover Bridge looms above a moose as it nibbles branches from a tree at the Dover Bay Subdivision in Dover. You’ll see this photo and the winner of the biweekly Kootenai Canvas contest identified Thursday in the Prairie Voice and again Saturday in the Handle Extra.
Poet Gary Buck didn’t win the Kootenai Canvas contest because his entry focused more on the Dover Bridge ( the 7th worst infrastructure in the U.S. ) than the scene. However, I’ve reprinted his entry below because it’s a good one, titled “Ode To The West Way”:
O elusive West Way, thou orphan of I.T.D.
Thou, whose unsightly bridge the locals dead
Have driven, like post into muddy squeezing.
Thou, whose unsightly bridge the locals dead
Have driven, like post into muddy squeezing.
