Cowboys

A crisp Outback day. . . . Two jackaroos pause midstream. Breathing in nature, they hear cool rushing water and feel the sun at their backs. Written 2/21/12 and based on a picture of Australian cowboys.

Yep, there's more real cowboying going on down there than here in the USA. I see a lot of stereotyped cowboy poems in this contest. This isn't one. Cheers, Roy

Having read and commented on Tracie's "Outback" image. It's wonderful to read the minds of the writers. Collectively, it makes us wonderful individuals, and isn't that special. Have a lovely weekend "Utah Babe" :) xxxx

Australia has some of the rarest species of aquatic life in the world and I am always drawn to read anything about this fabulous continent! You have a real nature-lover's entry. I haven't heard the word Jackaroos in forever!....Yes, Covey is a Morman..u guessed right. Gwendolen :)
