I like your idea Deb that your cowboy is chained to the open range that he loves. Good rhyming in your cowboy poem Deb, just one thought, I think the prooved should be proved. Nice read, enjoyed it Deb.

Comment from Mary Shifman
This is a delightful and charming poem. Nice rhyme scheme and great imagery. It's true that something familiar, or even a habit can can become a cell that one can't seem to leave. I'm so happy that he found someone who was equally chained to the lifestyle! Nicely done.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I loved that! A nice happy ending for the cowboy and his cowgirl. This is a change from being left lonely on the range. I really enjoyed your poem, Debs. Well one. Hugs and love, Sandra xx

Hi, Debs, no I didn't. I've just checked my SPAM box, and bin, and my emails, but there is nothing from you. I'll pm my email address to you to see if you've got it right. I'll do that now! I'm so sorry you are being messed around. xxxx

Well, that was a nice and unexpected ending! I like it when the old hardened ones finally find a mate. *smile* They deserve it! This was a sweet, well-paced, and highly enjoyable poem. Thanks!

Comment from Mama Baer
Oh, my goodness! This delightful poem had me caught up in it right away! I love how you captured "cowboy speak." Love the metaphor of a cowboy hat to a crown, and the horse to a throne. I also love the happy ending! (One tiny edit: I think "proved" has only one "o.") The photo you selected is amazing, too. Sets the tone perfectly.

Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
Nice poem; great imagination! This cowpoke just wanted to wander the hills and deserts on his horse, but eventually he found a sweet young lady, to settle down with.
I found one error:
Prooved to be that ol' cowboy's chains.
-->
Proved to be that ol' cowboy's chains.
The rhymes and rhythm in your poem are very good. You did a great job with this.

I'm glad you enjoyed and appreciate the heads up on the error.

I loved this and I believe that's because I found myself reading it like I was in an old western. So I feel you definitely portrayed the connection you were hoping for! Great job!

That's a happy ending! I'm relieved the cowboy found someone to share his roaming life and she understands all that he loves. Great entry to the club challenge!

Thank you, Mermaids. I'm married to an old cowboy. They're tough to get in off the range, trust me. lol. But I guess we 'cowgirls' get to them every time. And, honestly, I haven't saddled a horse in... Wow. Lots of years! Ha!
Blessings and many thanks,
Deb
