I loved the honestly and truth of this story told in verse. Things have changed very little over the years in the life on a working ranch. It's a tough way to live. Some women and men just can't handle it. I liked the way you showed he still had his friends and hot coffee waiting for him.

Excellent poem. You develop the tone of the Cowboy very well. Such a rare and great breed. So true that some do not or will never accept their way of life. Great work

Comment from Realist101
And what a silly woman she was. I have dreamed of a cowboy stealing me away so I could ride and be free out where the wind blows the cobwebs out of my head!! HA. This is a wonderful piece...reminds me of a song by Kenny Rogers...cannot remember that title, but the gal left a husband with children...nice work Gary!! Susan

This is a very good poem, with great rhythm and description. I would just suggest that using the words above, rides issues lowlands feeds don't need an
apostrophe - s and just correct "the cowboy is a simply
man" to "the cowboy is a simple man". Just minor things but they might detract from full appreciation of this very good poem

This is really good. It is sad, but sweet. It's obvious that you are a hard working man. You are truly blessed with a talent for words, as well. I really enjoyed reading this very much. Excellent read, God bless you!

Comment from Ann Smith
I can hear the voice of the cowby and it is sad that some women never learn to like that kind of life style. However, there are others that would jump at the chance to be the wife of a cowboy. The imagery, rhythm, and rhyme of the poem is good. The poem reads to me more like couplets, and sometimes it is good to divide them as such. It slows the poem down and allows the reader time to soak up each thought. You don't need an apostrophe on rides, fences, and lowlands. Just blame the computer. ann

Beautiful. This is a sad story with a lot of emotion and truth behind it. This flows well and the rhythm and rhyme works, good job.
