From ghosts and goblins to westerns and Marilyn! I've now got grips with your style and thoughts, 'am more at ease than before. This was nice encounter to pen, though, I felt the story fell short at the climax. Not your fault. It still had that imperial touch, kill and mayhem. Suits you rather well. (I'd love to see a Nature poem from you!)...

    I've written several nature haiku, ravim, but none of them have ever done very well. Like a reviewer once told me, it's probably best to stick with what I know. Every time I try to branch out and write something kinder, and more gentle, it's not very well received.

Excellent poem. Lines rhymed good to writing.
IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD, 1834, A MAN RODE IN TO TUCKER'S SOUND,
WITH FIERY BLOCK EYES, HE WAS ONE DESPISED, FOLKS RAN WHEN HE CAME 'ROUND.

Dear Dean - this western story poem was wonderful in every way. I loved it, as always your images and detail are fabulous. This read so smoothly it had a lyrical feel to it and flowed down the page effortlessly. I enjoy Charlie's stories and funny enough this reminded me of him before I even got to your author note. Excellent work my friend i enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks for sharing and happy holidays.
Mo

I did not realise it was a poem. It rhymed all the way. Tells the story of a man that fancies a woman and she accepts. But then someone else calls him for a duel, and kills him. The female is beyond comforting.

Hi Dean, this is a classic my friend, a real story in a poem! I was completely enthralled from beginning to end, great flow of words brilliant rhyming and the dialogue was spot on, I am following Charlies latest at the moment, but this would easily stand alongside it, Brilliant!

Intriguing western story poem. Her sweet love lay dead to rights in the dirt streets. Thus said, Joe's Dillinger felled him between the eyes! The day is over, as the town becomes colder, whores need a cryin' shoulder. Not to be coy, oh, boy, this is city slicker's cotton picker. I got my single action six shooter; I look like Clint, as I squint at this marvelous western flick. Could lead to script -- stories from tales of the crypt. Count your cylinders. Spook-a-D00, boo... Dang, I got a spent chamber!
