Notes About The Poem

Billy the Kid, 1859- 1881

Shot dead, or was he ?

Legends grew, sitings claimed, books written, movies made.  

Billy the Kid

 
Billy the Kid, a gunfighting cowboy,
he started his killing spree as a young boy;
escaped often- arrested,
shot and in a grave rested;
and legends grew for Billy to enjoy !

Joe Maverick May 1, 2022 at 11:37 PM Wow.. Events took over in this young man's Existence Constance..' There is just as much Negative happenings going on now hey Maybe even more..? Hmm.. More..! it just gets to People In different ways.' Be well and God's Blessings.' Constance La France May 2, 2022 at 9:16 PM Joe, thank you so much for the visit and comment, Billy became a legend, not bad for an orphan boy whose first crime was stealing food at 12 years old because he was hungry, then he escalated his crimes, getting arrested and escaping, he was good at escaping. Yes, the world is a mess, so much bad stuff happening, it hurts to just watch the news, blessings ~Constance

Harry Horsman April 30, 2022 at 7:27 PM Interesting Limerick, Constance. Love the fable behind this young man. Constance La France May 1, 2022 at 10:11 PM Harry, thank you so much for the compliment and comment, odd thing in those days they usually took pics of the dead outlaws in their coffins, but there is none of Billy The Kid, so maybe it was not him, as the myths imply, blessings ~Constance

Darlene De Beaulieu April 30, 2022 at 4:09 PM Hello Constance, Yes I have wondered about who is buried in his grave. I guess we will never know. Blessings Constance. Constance La France April 30, 2022 at 11:58 AM Darlene, thank you so much for visiting and the comment, he was a boyish looking killer but legend has turned him into a fav for books, movies and people of all ages, but the question has always been was he actually killed ? And who is buried in his grave ? blessings ~Constance
