Do you hear the whispering wind? Wait someone may have farted!

Idaho Cowboy
Some think a cowboy is suppose to be tall and lean,
good lookin' of course with tight fittn' jeans,
A thin wiry frame with legs slightly bowed,
with his pants tucked inside for his boots to be showed.
He rides a fancy pony if he rides for the cattle,
and atop his steed sets mighty a fancy saddle.
His hat is a Stetson that's creased to his style,
he's got a big silver buckle you can see for a mile.
Oh he struts like a peacock with a bit of a swagger,
talk about ropin' n ridin', he's a bit of a bragger.
Why he could rope the wind if given half a chance,
and steal any lady heart with one handsome glance.
Now I've know some good cowboys who were tall & lean,
but most I have known were not cut to be mean.
Most know the work and are caring endowed,
this leaves little time to strut around proud.
But purdy of course don't make a buckaroo,
and it don't help a bit if yer horse lost a shoe.
And that buckle he bought can't doctor a cow,
and workin' stock, . . . well ya gotta know how.
I know a passel of cowboys and most ain't even cute,
but I sure want them with me when I'm loading the chute.
When workin the stock they don't need to brag,
they're always first to join in when ridin' the drag.
Some are short and stout and some right down fat,
but when it comes to the job that's right where they're at.
Truth is most cowboys don't fit a physical description,
To think they're all tall and good lookin,' is just plain down
right fiction.
Now I'm a cowboy who is not real tall or even good lookin',
And most of this round comes from my wife's down home cookin'.
I'm no different from most and I know who I'am, . . .
I'm that cowboy from Idaho who looks like Yosemite Sam!

When poetry inspires me, it releases and inspires within, that which I have a passion for.

I wrote the following verse after reading a post on another thread. I believe promises are made, only to be broken. It saddens me.

Silence
Silence is better than broken promises spoken.
Promises and Vows are spoken then broken,
Meaningless words are spoken but not forgotten,
Better silence than broken promises spoken.

Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

My inspiration came from this verse:
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Enjoy the silence

Not all poetry inspires me, so I don't make it my own, it has to touch me within and my belief system.

Cowboy Poetry, "Cowboy Poetry is my first love." I love a good story and a campfire.



I have been collecting cowboy poetry for years, I could tell a story with the best of them after I had a bit of spirit way into the night, sitting around a campfire, nipping a bit...

Silence

Silence is better than broken promises spoken.
Promises and Vows are spoken than broken,
Meaningless words are spoken but not forgotten,
Better silence than broken promises spoken.

Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

I couldn't say it better, freedom comes from within.

A Kiss, is not a kiss
until it makes your toes curl,
you can feel it in your toes,
passion that flows through
your whole body. My toes still
curl when I remember that kiss.

"Welcome to online dating."

You made my day, well done, I felt like I was there, so refreshing, love the smell, and the cushion of fallen leaves under my barefoot feet. Wow, Beautiful, what more can I say.

Hey Ladies, I hate to see a grown man cry perhaps we all need to take a peep at no1phD's profile so he has a few views therefore he won't be so bummed out and disappointed.
