Haiku 36 37 38 39 An Ode To Cowboys and Cotton Eyed Joe

Out past fading smoke the smell of saddle-leather lone horse by campfire - - - by the campfire cowboys share haunted tales leaves rustle in moon's shadow - - - the tapping of boots on creaking woodfloor line-dancing - - - coffee beans'scent from the musty log cabin Cowboys 'return

What an honor to have inspired all these! I like them all! Couldn't possibly pick a favorite. If there was line dancing, I would be there sawing away on my fiddle. Of course, I would also like to lounge beside a roaring campfire and swap tall tales. I like riding horses and shooting guns too. What a hoot! Do write more of these gems if you get inspired!

If you're half as good at line dancing as you are at writing haiku...I'm sure you tear up the dance floor!

Excellent set of Haikus! Though, I prefer Salsa over Line-dancing. :) Just sayin'...
