COWBOYS ARE HEROES
sorenbarrett said:
A powerful message sent in this poem of a culture that has been dumbed down by politics and the politically correct. Where justice takes second seat to protocol. The free spirit is seen as a thorn in society\'s side. Modern cowboys take the form of vigilantes frowned on by the law and applauded in the theater as batman, V, a Jason Bourn or Equalizer, or John Wick. All for entertainment but not for real life where one must wait in line and stand by while someone is shot or rapped so as not to be accused of stepping out of line. A wonderful write with good rhyme and near rhyme and good meter it sends its message powerfully

AN OUTSIDER WITH PRIDE
sorenbarrett said:
Compliance, cooperation and unity are the answer to an overpopulated world where sacrifice of the self for the good of the whole is the ultimate mandate. Loss of individual identity is a logical consequence and independence is the greatest threat. True communism becomes the goal. A great write

YOUR PERFECT MAN
sorenbarrett said:
How perspectives change from eye to eye. A lovely write and a fun read. Well composed and with good rhyme it sings out to all us married men but maybe not so much to the women.

BURNING AFTER MIDNIGHT

An emotional poem that speaks of spending of the night. A lovely song that has a haunted feel to it.

A COWBOY POET SHOT IN THE SHIN
sorenbarrett said:
The humor of the p instead of o where a missed aim does the damage this time on the keyboard instead of the shot is genius. It caused me to think a bit to begin with but sunk in as I read. To be shot in the shin must really hurt. I have banged my shin before and that was bad enough I can\'t imagine a shot there. As a poet I have taken a shot or two but one to the shin and a missed one at that makes me wonder what they were shooting at. The culprit never named remains anonymous. You the cowboy poet did you ever find out who shot you in the shin? Hope it was just an accidental misfire. Good write David
