My first thought was that this would be a very nice cowboy poem, how wrong was I, I like that this covers real life problems, a very clever and mindfully written piece

Good meter and rhymes in this piece, Gary.
Just one possible spag, in this line:
'Only stopping to repair the section(s) that was down'
Great poem about how some women do not fit in to the life of a cowboys wife.
Good one - Cally :)

good strong and powerful images of the broken man the characters are very much alive here and the profound messages through the ride have not been lost it is nice that she has not been bagged and that the writing actually understood her plight

Comment from Dan103085
A sad story, but I can see it applying to many professions, not only being a cowboy. The line between financial stability and doing what one loves and our personal relationships is sometimes blurred. A good read

Comment from seewhatimwritingnow
Oh, this is wonderful! She just couldn't accept the 'cowboy's' way of life and is leaving. He rides the range, busying himself to get his mind off of his problems. I can well see this happening. Great writing! Betty

Comment from Judian James
Hi there Deepwater. Another good piece from your pen. A few issues: "This cowboys heart was broken as he rides out in the storm,He feed's the steers " "cowboy's" should have an apostrophe and "feeds" should not. "Lifes story is unfolding" "Life's" should have an apostrophe.

I love the typo alerts one gets when another pair of eyes comes along. I know you'd do the same for me in a review of my work, right?
Comment from vandawalker
This has a sad story line, but there's still hope coming from the freedom and happiness found in the land and cattle. It is a hard life (my dad was a cattleman in the Midwest), but one that gives a lot of satisfaction in what you can build up. The different emotions in this poem bring out a good message. I enjoyed this writing.

Comment from Amicus
I like your poem, Gary, and think your taciturn clueless broken hearted cowboy is a wonderful voice to write in...The poem flows well and is poignant but you need to address the SPAG problems in this poem that numerous reviewers have pointed out to you and to learn the grammatical rules that you consistently break which reviewers also, I see, generously point out to you for the consistent lack of polish in your work detracts from the overall effectiveness.
