Zack Poems - Poems about Zack

ZACK So instantly attracted to Zack Author of Gorilla and the Bird That when I met him I couldn't say a word He wrote in my book When I approached for signing You smell great So I wrote in illegible writing.

Page 5 With the body in the wagon Me and Doc rode through the town looking up and down the street not a soul was left around The Doc gave out a chuckle "These superstitious fools They might as well pull this wagon they're as bright as this old mule" We reached the edge of town there I spied a big ole hill In the moonlight...

As the Doc removed the scarf that was 'round the Sheriff's neck He did it with great care That shown a sign if deep respect The Sheriff was well liked and through the years made many friends So it was understandable they were shocked to see his end The Doctor then remarked "There a bite mark on his throat and it seems...

page 3 As I backed stepped to my horse The towns folk grew around I drew out my colt but, someone knocked it to the grown If you asked me how they did it I would have to answer "Nope" But somewhere out of nowhere They produced a hanging rope Then many men grabbed at me To pulled me to a tree when I heard a...

Page 1 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 and since that day the sheriff died The town was gripped by fear It didn't seem that long ago It feels like yesterday The streets were filled with people and...

THE LOST SOULS SALOON Page 7 I pushed aside the swinging doors And stepped out on the street My poor horse stood, alone all night without a thing to eat I led him by the reins As we turned to make our way In hopes to find some oats Or perhaps a bail of hay And as we walked so slowly Just drifting...

The Lost Souls Saloon The oil lamp was dimmed as the light defined her face and it made the room a fire silhouetting our embrace With her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist Her lips became more supple while her eyes drew more debased I was somewhere, caught between A place called heaven, and one called hell And somewhere in...
