The Spirit of Soup Creek
In Soup Creek saloon behind Jenna’s bar
Milt’s holsters and belt and a posthumous star
Are fixed to a plaque to remember him best
There’s a custom made bracket where Milton’s guns rest
The gun barrels cross over Milt’s...

My Inner Indian
When I was very young
All I really wanted
To be was an Indian.
My mother always read to me -
Stories of fairies and elves,
Of princesses and ogres, witches,
And brownies who did good deeds.
Poems, “Wynken, Blynken and Nod”,
“The...

The Showdown
'Twas an ominous moment when rode into town
To its marshal defy and outdraw and gun down
A notorious, murderous varmint named Slade
Who had widows and orphans throughout the west made.
The next morning, as destined, they...

My back’s against the wall
Cold granite above me
Mountain stream to the right
On the left a big ol’ spruce tree
Almost three hours back
I was holed by a shot
Given to me from a Ute...

Military boots grip the pavement,
hair in a Sarah Connor ponytail
Got her sunglasses on at midnight,
waiting patiently for the right ride
to stop
And swing open an invitation
to rest her road wary bones
From the bend of the elbow,

His Call
Stop and read no farther if your heart is weak, because this story’s ending surely
will be bleak.
If you’re prone to nightmares following any gore, I suggest you STOP my friend

The Perfect Partner - Dance
To a rhythm my feet were moving.
Left, right, T.A.N.G.O.
Moving at a pace full of life and spirit.
A willing partner I had.
Twirl, pause, five steps always ahead.
Stamp and up he holsters me.
He was best with the...

Pink Slip For a Generation
At the 5:00 whistle
When the sunset in late November
Is less light and more molten
Like a blast-furnace window
Glowing above the highway home
Goo spilling from its sparkling ladle
Bent
At the off-ramp’s arthritic elbow
The city smolders
Under
The backs and braces...

Those Halcyon Hero Days
Smiley sold autographs and pieces of his hat, they say—
In halcyon movie days when heroes just blew away.
There came a time western movie jobs were sparse as hen’s teeth,
And Ken and Kermit Maynard retired and...

Why Not Steampunk
I am not sure how I accidentally stumbled upon the world of Steampunk,
But it is a combination of lace, leather, and metals, and a little bit funk.

two cell phones ran into each other on some street
friends I think world has changed though
and stood side by side known yet unknown
an awkward greeting then sliding into silence
like an old western gunfight suddenly

The Gunfighter
The Gunfighter
By: Tom Wright
1997
I knoweth not
From whence he came.
He just appeared
He gave us no name.
He had close-set eyes
That gave but a glance.
Immediately I knew
I had no chance.
The tied off holsters
He wore on his hips.
Held two...
