COWBOY`S DREAM

Bad weather and bad cows bring thoughts of love and tenderness.

 

COWBOY`S  DREAM

Cloudy in the West

And looks like rain

Damned ole slicker`s

In the wagon again

 

Old hoss is balk`n

He don`t like wet

Gonna go to town

And see her yet

 

Big blue eyes

Big as the sky

This lonesome life

I`m gonna die

 

If I don`t see my sweet love

Outa the rain

In our hide-a-way

I can`t live with all this pain

 

Kick him in the sides

Swing the braided quirt

 Wide around the herd

Forgetting dirt

 

Just live and dream

In this cold rain

Of another life

Tomorrow

 

If tomorrow comes

And I see her then 

 I`ll come back

And tell you some

I like the way this poem flows, the way each line moves into the next effortlessly like a vibrant creek where each old slang word is a rock. The water still flows easily over the rocks, but each one creates liveliness. It's great to read a poem like this because I think this is what I find the hardest to do. And I feel like i'm there on that horse restless with the anticipation of seeing my love in town. Love it!

I very much enjoyed reading this poem.
The longing, the intensity.

Describing both sides, the pros and cons, the love and pain.

If I don`t see my sweet love
Outa the rain
In our hide-a-way
I can`t live with all this pain

Very good!

Thank you,

Longing for the sweetheart--whether on the sea or the lone prairie, it's much the same. A good poem, Eagle.
