These words reflect the way things were I when justice was instant.
There are times now when I feel it should still be so I yearn to see pea doohickeys swinging in the breeze.
Well written and deserving of a win

Hi there,

This is a pretty fast paced story in a poem.

I think the rhythm may be a little uneven in places ( very variable syllable counts too).

Good description pieces and action.

Hi mystery author, this is a truly awesome entry for this particular 'Old west' competition, beautifully told in aabb rhyming and proximate rhyming which has a wonderful flow and rhythm.
Good luck in the contest my friend.

An rhyming western poem of a wanted cowboy riding into town and knowing he is being chased by the posse and has little time enjoys the delights of a salon, whiskey, and a barmaid to fill his night who he then murders only to be caught and hung by the sheriff the next morning. Well written!

Good job it's only fantasy, pretty scary lifestyle! I think I'll stick to the peaceful life and watch Westerns on TV! Good use of rhyming, tongue in cheek humour and well described setting and characters. Good luck in the contest. Faye
