Richard Ferry Poet Light Verse

Favorite Actor

Tough to say       But I think the Duke      His years in the spotlight      Were definitely no fluke       He fought the wars      Won the west     This giant was always       At his best      At the very end       The Shootist      And     True Grit       Will forever stand the test       Happy trails       John Wayne       You were       Without a doubt      Heads above the rest

Andrea Dietrich August 2, 2013 at 7:56 AM Hi there. NO, I never went to India. Sure wish I could see it. I studied up on tigers on google before writing my poem. Let me find a new one of yours to read now. Richard Ferry August 2, 2013 at 8:08 AM I will write today a poem about tigers....India, beautiful country...Your imagination is astounding...Sounded like you were there...

Andrea Dietrich July 24, 2013 at 2:38 PM richard. this is sweet and sure to make Frank smile. (it's in his contest, right?) My hubbie is a big fan of this actor and I know he wishes he were born in that era. My sister adored the Duke and was always watching his movies. Are you a cowboy? Richard Ferry July 24, 2013 at 9:45 PM I think most guys wish they were in the wild wild west. Exciting to be a cowboy. I am not a cowboy, originally from NYC. More Wall Street than in me than hearding cattle. And yes it`s for the contest , but I was a great fan of John Wayne`s movies. Westerns my favorite but enjoyed his World War II flicks. Thanks for stopping at my sight...Rick
