Kansas Poet! ! Poem by Tom Zart

Kansas joined the Union as the Civil War began.
After four long years of tragedy, many women lost their man.
Cattle trails met the railroads as they pushed across the state.
Farmers planted corn and wheat as the buffalo awaited their fate.

Those frontier days have long since gone
Though the sunflower is still here.
My childhood home of Kansas
Where the buffalo roam with the deer!
