You know who you are. 

The spirit of the old west a cowboy of song He sings a pleasant tenor on the world and its wrongs And he lifts up the spirits when he sings of what's gone right and he's cheered this game producers days and her nights He explains his profession in the most basic ways and he teases and conjoles and flirts and has his say He's clearly a boss man on his own large spread but he meets her in cyberspace to laugh and share a thread We talk about the state of the world, the simple things the things that bring us strife and we talk about music and the sorrows of past life And we speak about the challenges of our every day and he makes me laugh and think so fast And cares melt away Distraction, attraction, laughter and mental rapture soulmate best friend energy there I challenge this man to remain my friend to have and hold on the physical plane Cause cyberspace is fun and all, but I would rather be fly fishing or riding horses in the back 40 and singing cowboy poetry My cowboy poet - Artimus (C) For you, you know who Susan Manley ( pool noodle fights or water balloons, I tell you)

Outstanding poem, almost a tribute to your online cowboy poet friend. I appreciate the way your poem flowed especially the internal rhyme scheme. Nicely done, Sara

Yeeha!! Love how you have written this for your cowboy poet...I like the assonance and the internal rhyme that you have used.. You have created a clear picture of the man who seems to have your quill flowing in his praise.. you are a wonderful poet Susan.

I am offering to turn it into a country song for him. It will be a first. I hear it in my head. ( odd how this works, I have not done this before).
