Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the cowboy's leather looking face with cracks and crevices hardened by years of harsh sunbeams coming down onto his face.

Sandra,
One can only imagine the hard life the cowboys faced as they drove the longhorns to the slaughtering pens. They had no sunscreen products either (-;
Pleased you liked my posting.

Hi there Mark
I think this is a great 5-7-5 poem. Good description of the artwork. You should have entered it in one of the many competitions.
Best wishes. Jen.

Jen,
Just for the fact that you said I should have entered this in a contest is my satisfaction of placing in the same. I think it was a good write anyway.

It is important, you find, as you come to know, truly the cracks and crevices and etch the cowboy's weathered face, you have seen how it looks the leathery life lines of a cowboy; well said, well done.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
The sun leaves it's mark here and not even a hat can prevent the sun from turning skin to leather. This is why I keep out of it as much as I can. In Spain you see many faces like this on sun worshippers who live in regret when they are in old age. I enjoyed your descriptive 5-7-5 here Mark, love Dolly x

Thanks Dolly!
I had edited my original idea after finding the picture (I had looked on FanArt but with no success!). So pleased that I did and you agree!
Yes, everyone should use sunscreen or reduce their exposure to this damaging ultra waves to avoid that leathery look.

The picture you chose as a background for this poem is clothing magnificently your words. I like how you managed to bring that solemn expression in your own words:"cracks and crevices
etch the cowboy's weathered face ~
leathery life lines" Thank you for sharing.
