I love your westerns and have missed reading your splendid writing. Loved the side characters point of view in this. I love rooting for the underdog. Lol. Good cadence and rhyming. Gretchen

Comment from Thatguypk
I love it! I can almost see the action and hear the droll voice of a gruff country and western singer banging out the words. Being of a musical background, I really appreciate the rhythm and musicality of the piece. Beautifully written.

Comment from Curly Girly
This is simply BRILLIANT!
I thoroughly enjoyed the story it told in rhyme.
It read along at a jaunty pace, keeping me riveted to the screen.
I'm pleased the young man broke his leg when he fell and didn't get shot.
A clever outcome.
I'll try to look out for this in the voting booths.
Best wishes!
Nicole

I did that Gert. Thanks for the suggestion. I think everyone knows about meter, but I guess not. I have suggested people tell what is involved in creating the different forms so reviewers can tell if they are written properly.It is important to know what we are reviewing. Thanks for the review my friend. Have a great day! Nancy
Comment from trumby
This is a GREAT story in a poem, mate.
This style is very much like Australian Bush Ballads. That was what I first started writing when I was 13 and I've enjoyed the style ever since.
I've hated bullies all my life and was very susceptible to stand-over men until I learnt how to fight.
I may not always win, but they sure know that I've been there

I'm so happy you like the story Trumby. I enjoy your Australian Bush Ballads as well. I love our old west and watch the movies again and again. Wish we could get more of Australias like "The Man from Snowey River" and "Quigley Down under." Quigly might be American made but I enjoyed it any which way! LOL Thanks for the review! Nancy.
Comment from Irish Rain
Great story-poem Miss Nancy!! My husband believes that he should have been born in those times, bellying up to the bar, rounding up posse's, he'd get that Hanagan, ha ha. I love this, the sweet sheriff got his man, and the friend, only a broken leg...he got off easy!! Wonderful, blessings...
