As a Cowboy

Out west there are many new ways. Always a new trail to blaze. My nights are short with long days. Feeding my horse he kicked me into a daze. I am watching the cows gather to graze. The fields are filled with food and the sun's rays. The dirt roads makes for a cloudy haze. I need love but I need a better catch phrase. I now wonder if going west really pays. I have so little but I must always give praise. For these are my only days. Date Written:1/20/2021 Honorable Mention Cowboy Poetry Contest Judged: 2/3/2021 Sponsored by:Line Gauthier

Hello Paula … I dare say the cowboy life would be hard and demanding. I did enjoy your verse with the same rhyme throughout - thank you Paula - Lindsay
