Loved it, Earl!
Could see the tumbleweeds rolling by the saloon and my heart was pounding in my chest for high noon.
I am awe inspired by poetry writers.

    I asked to be a fan and this work was under your profile. I used your Pen name-shortened.

It doesn't matter if the meter is off, your poem is really entertaining. It's like reliving a movie of Sergio Leone with the music of Ennio Morricone in the background. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

A western cowboy poem. A traditional gun fight setting. Good rhyming throughout. Very complimentary photo artwork to enhance the read. I'm still wondering who's still standing.

Hello Author, sometimes it's the quick ones that come out the best though. ;) You never know what's going to happen when the pen hits the page right? Not bad for 20 minutes and cowboys. :) :)

This is really good! I felt like I was a saloon girl peaking out the door watching a real shoot out take place! Great use of descriptive words to create the wild west image in a short poem.

I'm sitting at the edge wondering who was last. Way to build it up and let me down! But, no seriously, a good read, glad you've got me wondering. Thank you!

Great poem with a rollicking meter and shoot em up theme. Perfect for the cowboy prompt. I enjoyed reading it and it being built around High Noon.. very clever to draw the reader to an easily recognizable Western movie. Good luck!!

Reminds me of the movie, 'High Noon.' I agree - the one that reaches last reaches best. lol

Good entry for this contest. The picture is a perfect choice. Good luck.

It's a great poem for the contest and it has the right western feel about it. As I don't know anything about meter, I can't advise there. I'm a prose writer after all. But I liked it. And good luck. Ulla:))
