Bravo! Loved this well-written and beautifully presented piece. Never really knew a real 'Cowboy' (sure wanted to though-lol) Just the guitar singing, cowboy-hat wearing, phoney kind. LOL .. This tells a lovely story of lost love of a woman ten years younger- Thanks for sharing, Betty

Comment from Zoe Yates
Well I happen to like old cowboys and young and middle aged ones too. I happen to like your poem and have dreams of owning a ranch. I love riding horses and horsed in general I am sad that the BLM keeps rounding them up, of course if I owned a ranch I might feel differently about that. Anyway that's a sad tale and a nice read.

Comment from JudithMarie
Sad memories...get the feeling that she liked the fella but not the life. The repetition works well here as it adds to the sadness and reminds the reader that someone's love was lost along the way...the reason for your poem. Well written. Your words flowed carrying me easily through from beginning to end. JudithMarie

Comment from Mastery
This poem is very, very good, deepwater. It resonates with a bit of loneliness and melancholy and proposes the end result will always remain the same. Bravo! Bob

What a wonderful poem you have written. I always enjoy reading your work. Your poem has fantastic rhyme and flow, and a wealth of emotion. I love the refrain; it's so melodic and profound. Excellent! B :)

Seems like I already reviewed this poem once. I just reviewed a poem about amnesia. Maybe I'm worse than I thought. Anyway I enjoyed this poem the one (or two) times I read it.

Hi Gary,
This is such a sad poem. I have a feeling you are writing about yourself and if so I am sorry you and lady couldn't work things out. However, she must have come from a different world and cowboys weren't in it. You penned this very well. You have made excellent word choices and the melancholy comes through in every line. Well done....chey

I really liked this poem, my friend. Since most of what I write on the site are Westerns, this just made my day. Thanks

I am not really capable of recommending adjustments to poetry, so I won't. Just to let you know there are a few hiccups.
The cowboy, like the sailor, are tied to their first love. I like that you restated this fact "The love from that woman, he lost along the way" Strengthens this fact.
Thank you for sharing.
