Wow! What a murderous career this man had, so many people killed at his hand, it was a lawless society back then, but he got his comeuppance in the end, I enjoyed your story, the meter was a bit spasmodic, but the sentiments and story is a fantastic piece of history, love Dolly x

Thank you for your review.
Comment from Earl Corp
You have a good rhyme going there and certainly did what the prompt called for. The saying was notches on his gun not his belt. And true gunfighters didn't notch anything, they left that to the posers of the time. Good luck in the contest.

I think he was just a sociopath. Can't blame the wild, wild west for this killer-teenager. I'm very surprised he wasn't hung. You have told his story well with one amazing fact after another. Super posting!

John Wesley Hardin was feared by almost everyone, even Wild Bill Hickok who might have been faster. They allegedly met but never fought. Hardin was a ruthless killer--as you described--with no remorse. I am impressed by how much you could tell us about him in only seven stanzas. Rod

He was one vile dude. I'm just surprised he wasn't killed a lot sooner than he was. That a town didn't gang up on him or he wasn't taken out by another outlaw. Your poem is very well-written, interesting, yet very factful, you taught me something new, thank you. Good luck with your contest.

Thank you for your message and review.
He was so mean people were scared to try.

Probably scared he'd come back to haunt them if they were successful. I wouldn't want to meet some pissed off, gun-slinging ghost.
Comment from Patty Palmer
Wow! He was just a troubled teen?? And we talk about teens today! I don't think there was the law enforcement back then. Plus I think it was easier to hide out back then. Good luck with the contest.
