Cowboys Rule (Terza Rima)

by Sylvia   Nov 8, 2008


(Dedicated to TJ)

Wrangler jeans, just a little bit to tight.
Stetson hat, you can't see his eyes by design.
A starched blue shirt and a string tie for tonight.

His leather boots weathered, polished to the nines.
Consumed by this thought, I hope I'm not a bore.
Friday night, a cowboys night out, he's so fine.

Spies a nice little filly on the dance floor,
singles her out, cutting a foal from the pool.
Tips his hat and says "Howdy Ma'am, care to soar?"

and dance a Texas Two Step where cowboys rule.
As can you see, he's nobodies country fool.

    That is the best line in the entire poem. I enjoyed that and felt that you ended it just when it should have been ended.

    Very well done. I enjoyed the poem very much so.

    Well Sylvia i just don't think this will do at all, though your writing skills are excellent as always, i think your subject matter might need a rethink.
    Now tell me what kind of cowboy gets his butt kicked by his horses? And he's had the same foot broken twice by horses, you'd think he learned the first time? Man and dance, well i'm not so sure about that what with the one foot being way bigger than the other from being stood on. Now if you were to write about a biker/cowboy of steel horses now that would be something special.HAHA
    A lovely poem about a lvely young man, one i consider to be a son.
    Well done

    Grant
