Wild, Wild West Poem by Han Min Ohn

Wild, Wild West



Wild, Wild West, a place full of contests
Everyone had to struggle their best
With native Indians along the way
Expansion was not an easy game to play.

Wild, Wild West, a period with heroic casts
Andrew Jackson is an example not last
Though British supported the Indians heavy
Could not prevent William Harrison’s victory.

Wild, Wild West, an icon of cowboys’ quests
Gun fights and rodeo riding grew fast
With a rope and a pistol in hand
Every cowboy was a formidable one.

Wild, Wild West, an era of explorers’ conquests
John Fremont shone above the rest
As hunters and trappers extended their steps
Fur trading became a booming business fast.

Wild, Wild West, the time of Gold Rush
California became the famous hub
Many people migrated into the state
Unlucky were the ones who came late.

Wild, Wild West, the pillar that is best
To separate Americans from European masses
Revolutionary and Civil wars fought in this period
Completed the history of Wild, Wild West.
