Dustbowl Days
by Nicole S. Porter
Handkerchief to nose,
I cross these dusty streets
the wind whipping my gingham dress
around my legs.
My son carries his frosty bottle
of orange Nehi pop
while my daughter hugs her dolly
close to her chest.
We struggle, nomads fighting
the swirling whorls of sand
trying to keep the dust
out of our eyes.
When the wind settles again
I can see the barren lands
surrounding our tiny town -
Hopeful skeletons.
The farmers playing checkers
in front of the gas station
grumble about the price of corn
and their souls.

Those Terrible Dust Bowl Days
by Marilyn Lott
It took place back in the 1930s
And it was called the dust bowl days
Folks tried to scrape out a living
As dust storms left their world in a haze
There was a drought in Oklahoma
Dust storms took over their home
No food or jobs could be found
They had to pack up and begin to roam
They couldn’t seal their homes enough
The dust continued to sift through
Can you just imagine what it would be like
If this were to happen to you?
Some starved and froze in the winter
Folks lost new babies in the cold
It was a nightmarish time
Such sad stories later were told
It is almost impossible to imagine
It continues today to amaze
Thinking about what folks went through
In those terrible dust bowl days
