Premium Member Greener on the Other Side of the Fence
He wears thick gloves when he strings the barbed wire, fashioning a thorny fence from prickly metal spines, reminding me that cattle like to know the boundaries, the edges of a pasture, clever green grass hesitating on the borders of a place meant for those heavy bodies, warm and mellow like the faded flowers breathing silently, hesitating on the promises of...

Before John Ford
It seems that the truth is never quite square it’s just a bit catywampus you see All about the way that the cowboys lived back in them old westerns on our TV Them outlaws and sheriffs had old six guns that could shoot forty-nine times on a load Look real close and see them telephone poles running alongside an asphalt paved road Good...

Premium Member Roundup
Cowboy riding herd on the prairie, A man of tough and rugged degree, Most private and independent soul, One of a kind from a unique mold. Drifting along on his faithful steed, As cloven hooves drum the barren ground, Success is never guaranteed, When beat is heard by foes all around. The weather weighs heavy on his mind, Fears the northerly wind’s mournful whine, And...

The Cowboy A hundred thousand miles were written on his face He'd earned near every wrinkle Did this cowboy known as "Jace" He'd ridden cross the country From Death Valley up to Maine In weather full of sunshine To the roughest hurricane He owned two pair of Levis One for workin', one for church To know how long he'd been here You'd really have to search "Jace" was...

Cowboys, Made of Awesome
Some modern folks, when they hear his name, will roll their eyes and look ashamed, thinking the cowboy is uncivilized, with his hats, and guns, and round-up rides. That somehow they are beyond the stuff, to good for the wild, and the rough, following some unwritten ‘elite’ law, suppressing the urge to shout ‘yee-haw!’ But I think when it all is said and...

Cowboy Time-Loop, Part Iii
The houses were gone, no roads made of stone, just the familiar dry, adobe scene, Linton shook his head,”I gotta get home, don’t care if it’s barley past three!” He reached his cottage, his mind pondering, found his wife inside putting soup on, couldn’t help but smile at her swollen belly pressing forwards against her white apron. She said,”Dear, what ever brings you...

Cowboy Time-Loop, Part Ii
He tipped his hat and he said to her: “Ma’am, a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Can you kindly tell me why those whores are out, has no one taught those girls a lick of sense?” She chuckled softly, and then said to him: “I see you haven’t been to L.A. for a while. They’re not prostitutes, just dumb teenager girls, aping...

I lost my appetite for delicacy My pleasures got me angry Nothing was even making sense. Mama got so worried And I got worrier The moon sang me loneliness And I could not catch The glimpse of the shooting star.
