The Werewolf Banditos, Part I

I.
Bob Harney was riding upon the evening stage,
worried they’d not reach Pelltown before light did fade,
he hoped they didn’t have to spend the night camping out,
they’d heard the Arapahos were raiding around.

The others in the...

Three Fine, Well-Tended Graves, Part Ii

...It was early fall when the trouble came
to the Sperry’s and the Circle-S Ranch,
a dozen bandits came riding in hard,
shooting their guns in an entrance grand,
they thought none would dare make a stand,
but the punchers...

Town Called Rotgut

Armadilly Billy the Sling Shot Kidster was steadily on the move.
He was leaving the Southwest and his reputation behind, for sure!
Every gunslinger was out for him and of killing he’d become tired.
Even the weather was...

Some Place That Used To Be

It’s some place that used to be
Where all things would fall twixt—
A beat, battered, broken shell
Off old Route 66.

He rode a Silverado
That was a dusty gold,
His clothes were worn and ragged—
Their style was odd and...

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,...

Poems That Did Not Make the Cut

We all have those notebooks
filled up to the top
of poems we started
but for some reason had to stop
But we never throw them away
into the trash can or shredder
because someday we’ll rewrite them
and make them much...

Ringo Kady and the Cowboy

There were six in the cylinder,
Strapped to his side,
He stood tall,
And walked with pride.

His feathered friend, Hawk,
Upon his shoulder,
No, he didn't talk,
But was so much bolder.

Out west they would ride,
Toward the setting Sun,
Upon his horse,
Named...

He Rides the Death Horse

With his old hat cinched firmly on his head.
    He pulled his six gun and let loose its deadly lead.
Just one shot was usually all it ever took.

David Cherry

His dad was a Commercial Traveller
Who went to work in a suit and tie
Didn’t have that weathered complexion
From daily working under open sky.
They lived last house in Mill Row
The village school not very far.
Unlike most...

I'm just a poor lonesome cowboy.
Ridin' my pinto, out on the prairie.
I'm Roundin' up these longhorn, all day long,
Me and my pinto, and my rusty six-gun.

The Quick and the Dead On Tour

I hope to heaven that when I die
I meet Woody Guthrie in the sky
and then upon a dust-bowl cloud
we'll find the grace to sing aloud,
and that the Heavens won't debar
the using of a stringed guitar,
though...

The Showdown

Into the street he sauntered one day
Might be his last, no one could say.

Wore a sassy Stetson, chaps and spurs
ring-jingly things, with raucous burrs.

A silvered six gun pressed his hip
a tiny tremble dressed his lip.

Tough...

Doc Holliday truly amazing
Sick to death and two six guns blazing
Though his blasting appeared not to be phasing
The calmness of his gelding equine’s grazing

This be the glory, how the west was won
By house of ill...

The Continuing Saga of Zack Waverly Vol 6

A badge laid there upon the desk
Barely shining thru the dust
and the six gun there beside it
neglected, full of rust

There hadn't been a sheriff here
For days or months nor years

What Cowboys Do

On that ranch in the west.
We got us a cowboy dude.
On that ranch in the west.
We do what cowboys do.

Mirage

Turquoise stones and sun-bleached bones
Were strewn across the sand.
Through mid-day heat on blistered feet
The cowboy tried to stand.
They stole his horse without remorse
And then they took his boots.
They left him dry to bake and die
Without...

Stable Boy

He stumbled up the rock slope
To find the breaded man.
A six gun waiting at the ready,
The bastard’s flesh to brand.
A rock came loose
His foe came round
A stray bullet 
Struck in the group
He could not believe...
