Requiem for a Gunfighter

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
This is so unique in that you named so many of the known gunfighters of the Old West. I'm impressed with your rhyming words within each stanza. I'm not should I could have pulled that off half as well as you.
Your author notes were just as exceptional as your poem.
This is a great contest entry, and I wish you the very best!

You've included many famous names here and some I hadn't heard of. They were tough old days back then. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Dear Poet,
Well done with the rhyming and inclusion of all those shortlists. The west was populated with colorful characters and you have done them justice. A fun read.
Good luck in the contest.
Cheers,
Winslow

Well done here... If this doesn't win the Cowboy Poem writing prompt it SHOULD... So interesting and there are so many cowboys that I have never heard of and now I have... good luck.

Comment from Patty Palmer
This was a fresh twist! I could see almost everyone of the cowboys you mention. Some in black and white I might say! Then they learned how to color black and white so now I can't
remember who was when. But I do like this poem!

Good Job on the poem. I enjoyed your rhymes and flow. You've managed to squeeze a lot of name into that. I have to say I had not heard of a few of the names so I am glad you gave us the explanations at the end.

Comment from Hitcher
As a young fella there was no one happier to sit down and watch one of those now legendary wild west movies than me. Those gunman, lawman, killers and crooks kept me entertained for years. It is a shame they don't make many quality westerns anymore. Nice poem friend, good Luck!

Hello Cowboy writer,
I figured myself trying to outsmart Calamity Jane but there were all those fancy cowboys going to her rescue. Beautifully written. I would give you all the best marks in this contest.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This certainly meets the contest requirements with gusto! I am pretty sure you did not miss a single important cowboy in your litany of western warriors. You did a beautiful job of executing clean end rhyme on some pretty tricky names as well. Good luck in the contest and thank you very much for sharing it.
