Dear deepwater,
Good rhyme and metre make this poem easy and pleasant to read. A great lesson on philosophy also. The only thing to do when you are down is to get up.
Regards
Reg

Comment from Janelle
I enjoyed this poem very much. I liked the message it brings and the colouful way you presented it. The cowboy theme was an excellent choice to portray the message - suck it up and soldier on, put your back to the wheel and push as hard as you can and find your inner strength.
I especially liked;
It's a spirit tried and true;
like a guardian angel, it'll see you through.
So when you're down and things look rough;
Look deep within yourself, and.
"Cowboy up"
It almost sounds like the Australian drover mentality, which I guess is our versin of the cowboy. Regards, Jan

I don't know any cowboys, but this poem let me know that they are hard working decents guys that put up with or miss out on a lot just for the love of it. I enjoyed reading your poem.

Hi think you will get one of my six star sets! I like this, I can relate to it and I like the underlying message through out, the strength after obviously a broken relationship. I like the words, "Cowboy Up" they are catchy and make you feel good. I think the next time some-one is down around me, I'll Cowboy Up to them! And myself if my moods gets a bit low! Great little poem! Marion.

Comment from M. Karol
A great flow to your poem as well as the message, said in an innovative way.
'It's knowing what's wrong, and doing what's right;
though it means, you're going home alone tonight.'
love these lines. They say a lot.

it's being in pain - add the apostrophe
Your poem has a good, steady cadence and strong rhyming couplets that enhance the thoughtful message you are delivering - I especially like the vivid concrete examples you provide that leave no doubt what a person has to do to take the high road and be a person of integrity. Brooke :-)

What a wonderful and positive way of looking at the world, and certainly from a different perspective for many (city folks!).
Well written, great message.
Warmest regards, Marijke

Comment from Ann Smith
I like the metaphor of cowboy up because it can mean so many things to different people. I live in the country and have seen many a cowboy and cowgirl. I live across the street from people who actually ride in rodeos. Each stanza has something unique and true to say. I especially like the last stanza and the lines, 'so when you're down and things look rough, look deep within yourself and cowboy up.' Welcome to fanstory. I joined in Jan. and have learned a lot. ann
