Yes, I was specifically speaking of Cowboy Poetry. Free verse is quite old (though structured forms are far older) and has become more popular in (relatively) recent times, but Cowboy Poetry as a specific art form uses only structured forms, although any rhyme scheme and cadence can be used.

Grins,
an excellent piece of verse Wench, thanks for sharing it! And lest you get the wrong idea, I enjoy essays, storytelling, etc, I just don't call them poetry, because they aren't. One of my pards, who is a past president of the Texas Cowboy Poetry Association doubles as a storyteller, and one of his most popular stories is the tale of Henry Harrison Poe, and the murder Steer. Not a rhyme in sight, and it makes no difference whatever to it being a great story (and a way to sneak a little history in to an unsuspecting audience) But you do bring up a good point. While the name of the thread is Cowboy Poetry, Western stories and essays are also welcome and appreciated! |

Am around but about to head out. I'm playing down in Waxahachie tonight with Don Edwards. If there's any Cowboy Music fans here, we'll be at the Texas Theatre, 110 Main st Waxahachie tonight.

Any Batman Fans?
|

Major Bat-fan here. I grew up on the comics, and have loved every series, from Adam West all the way up through the brave and the bold.
I've even impersonated Batman at a few events. (kinda strange I know as Batman is 6'1, and I'm 6'8) Long live the bat! |

The Lone Ranger

Now I have that LOne Ranger song stuck in my head you're a bit young to relate, but when I was a kid, the common description of someone who was "cultured" was somebody who could listen to the William Tell Overture, and not think of The Lone Ranger. If that's true, the only culture I have is bacterial!

Eh-hm, all cowboy poetry does not rhyme - I believe your describing Dr. Seuss. I invite you to visit any Cowboy Poetry gathering, or read some of the work on Cowboypoetry.com. You'll find that Ryhme and meter are common to all Cowboy Poetry. Now there are many Western Story Tellers who use visual imagery, and spin a darn good yarn, but it is not Poetry. |

Curves are great, attitude to go with those curves is even better. Nothing is better than a cuddle from a curvy girl who delights in plastering every square inch of those curves against you :-)

UPDATE: I've just received a report that a zebra-striped thong was found dangling from a telephone wire somewhere off Route 66...inconclusive results were obtained from the DNA testing, but it is this reporter's opinion that they do, in fact, belong to the missing woman... Bloodhounds were let loose in the area, but they immediately starting gagging & vomiting...perhaps as a result of cosmic cooties. We, at the newsroom are still confident that Tami will be found whole & unharmed & hopefully intact... Now back to your regularly scheduled programming... UGH! Who blew up the page? Half my stuff didn't come out!  Cosmic cooties are not a good sign. Damn space herpes.........  LOL, nice Ice Pirates refferences, score one for the siloffefer |

Wild Horses
See him open his stride, as he chases the sun Heart and hooves making thunder on the plains The King of the prairie, a symbol of freedom Wild as the wind that blows through his mane Of proud Spanish blood, the old world’s finest With Cortez he sailed on the Spanish Main Served Conquistadors down south of the border Then cross the wide river to Texas he came Still called by the Spanish name El Cimmaron Mestengo, or Mustang as he came to be known Friend to the Cowboy, and also the Indian Sire of the Dun, and Strawberry Roan Like Earthquake or Cyclone, Fire or Flood They’re one of The West’s primal forces May God in His mercy, from Heaven above Grant there always shall be Wild Horses |
