Good job with the contest - and it all makes sense as you go along in the rhyming rhythm. I like cowboy poetry - it has the old west flavor. Really enjoyed reading this poem

This is a fantastic poem about a shootout that it has happened. I like this poem because it's like a western story. No grammatical errors. Good luck in the contest!

Despite rough meters this is an excellent gunslinger poem. That era had much to teach us about survival and the foolishness of pride and bullying.
I am glad we settle disputes much more peacefully today - though at times people seem to take a page from this era.

There's a lot of self-thought here and suspense leading up to the conclusion...a cliff hanger. It's a good cowboy poem with a moral-type ending. Best wishes in the contest!

There are many legends about gun fighters in the old west. The names, the people, existed but not the way they are portrayed quite often in books and on the movie screen. I remember an old movie about Billy the kid from the 1940s. Billy was a tall, handsome man all dressed in black with two ivory handled, silver pistols. In real life, Billy the kid, is called Billy the kid because he looked a like goat. He looked nothing in real life like the movies portrayed him. Good poem, good rhyme and pretty good rhythm. Best wishes.

Yeah Billy the Kid sure didn't look like Emilio Estevez and gunfights weren't duels in the middle of the street. Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my work.

Honestly, I don't mind when the meter is off if the story is good. You brought back the days I grew up and watched so many westerns. I called them cowboy and Indians lol. Thank you for sharing.
God bless

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. As I read the poem I am taken back to the days of cowboy movies. When I read, "I'm waitin' for high noon", all I could see was Gary Cooper. You did a fine job of getting all the terms from the old movies. You have boot hill, Ringo, hired gun and Callin' you out. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent write. To me only a fool with a death wish, would invite death to come and claim him. As anyone with a rational brain should know, we only get so many challenges before the grim reaper claims another victim. Why stack the deck in the reaper's favor? Enjoy life while you have it, it is all gone way too soon otherwise.

I enjoyed your contest entry, Mystery Author. You did a great job telling this story of a gunfight. Great job with the prompt. Regardless of meter, the lines flow with great imagery. The picture is perfect for your cowboy poem/story. Thanks for sharing and best wises. Jan
