High Noon

The two men stood in the dusty street, it was inevitable that they should meet, suddenly one of them slumped to his knees, justice had provided one of life' s certainties. The Marshal strode towards his adversary, kicked the gun on the ground away slowly, I went to a party and met a Chinese lady who phonetically was called High Noon. She joked about Clark Gable but I told her that actually it was Gary Cooper, who recenty had been given a lifetime achievement award for being such a great trooper. We met again and so I asked her 'how?' I said that it must be nearly two o ' clock by now.

Nice! Very enjoyable read. Poems can at times be laborious, not yours. You keep your audience wanting to know the next line. You have the fresh new way of poetry. Gives me hope. Thank you very much. I will learn from you, if that's okay.
