A fun poem with descriptions that create vivid imagery. That cowpoke certainly is dedicated to winning the battle of wills. I can almost see him dusting himself off and going at it one more time. The notes are helpful in understanding the lingo. Strong rhymes.

This is totally cool. A surprise from you, didn't know that you knew about this stuff except for your story. This has your usual perfect rhyme and meter and that lends itself so well to this piece. A great read. Love it, mikey

Comment from GracieAnn
Nancy, this is a well balanced rhyming poem with the cadence of a rodeo using the vernacular from that cultural phenomena. Nice snapshot of that world. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the sonnet rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with ride/side. Good alliteration with tight/ten...he/hit...has/his...bronco/bucked...bronco/buster...he/hits. Good rhythm and flow. Good story telling. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

Comment from Alan K Pease
Brings back memories of the California State Fair in Sacramento. We watch bucking bronco and bulls as well as enjoying the rides in the amusement area. I was a teenager then and we camped out in an open field near the fairground. No one discovered us. Excellent sonnet full of expertly conceived rhyme, rhythm, and message.

It is about a bronco buster not rider. Someone who breaks horses on a ranch for a living not a rodeo star. LOL Thanks for the review SC. Have a good day. Nancy

Comment from Jim Lorson Sr
Nancy, I like how you describe the ups and downs of being a bronco buster. Such a seemingly tough way to make a living. But there again that is the cowboy way and the cowboy life. I always wanted to be a cowboy, but, I grew up in Ohio with the farmers. Well done friend,,,,,Jim

Jim and I grew up in IL. When we got to Nevada he bought our first horse and we continued from there. LOL Ending with buying ranch property where I live today. Thanks for reviewing Jim. Have a good day! Nancy
Comment from mfowler
I've been to the rodeo once in my life and it was way too dangerous for my gentile ways. But, it was exciting. You've captured the spirit of the bucking bronco and the courage of the rider very well in this excellent sonnet.

Comment from GE Parson
TREMENDOUS! You write about cowboy life like maybe you were raised on a ranch. How did you know those cowboy words?
I'm impressed with the rhyming words. I assume you are going to, or have published a book of these western poems.
YAAA HOOO, write em Cow girl!!!
Your city slicker Friend,
Jerry

I have learned some reading westerns, watching westerns but mostly around the campfire on trail rides or at the saddle club in the 60's and 70's. Thanks for the six Jerry . Cowboys nearly always have good humor and love to talk that way around greenhorns and that's what we were when we bought our first horse and joined the saddle club in 1959. Have a great day! Nancy
