Tombstone - Like the Four Horsemen

they walked along
weathered, carrying their guns;
like the four horsemen…

down to the O.K.
guns blazing, bullets flying;
smoke clears, the strong stand…

YAYYY, Tirzah. It was sure fun seeing who I gave placements to. I was expecting this to be a guy. I like how you compared them to the four horsemen. And the nice ending you put on it. Luv, Andrea and Congratulations of course.

This was such a vivid scene for me, Tirzah! You captured the scene here well -- even if I hadn't seen the movie, I could picture this so well! Congrats on your win! :D
