Comment from Donna Thompson
It's what makes a cowboy tell it straight;
its being in pain, and calling your gate.
It's having nothing, yet having it all;
it's brushing off the dust and knowing how to fall
Thanks to you, now I know what Cowboy up means. I love the verse above and commend you for a great written poem

Comment from Valkarie
I like this because...There is a message within your words that is very reassuring and this piece captures the reasoning very well. I thought this a very creative piece of writing which worked very well and your descriptions were very good. An intriguing write based on the cowboy theme, it is concise and a visual write. Well done.

Absolutely amazing poem. It really captures and describes what it is to be a cowboy. As someone who grew up in New England my whole life, not only have I never been exposed to it but I've never seen it, but this poem takes all the notions of what it must mean for an individual to be a cowboy and personifies them in a way that makes them easy to relate to and understand. I like the clever and comical mood of the poem. "Going hungry and telling yourself, 'im not starving im just lean'" made me laugh out loud. More importantly though, in doing so you really created a very vivid image of a rugged down to earth honest lean cowboy. The only suggestion I have if any is in the line "its being in pain, and calling your gate" I understand what youre saying there but perhaps it would make more sense if you said "its being in pain and calling [it] your gate" Thank you for such a great read.

Great poem! I really like your use of repetition to emphasize the central idea. Check the second line of the third stanza. You've left the apostrophe out of IT'S. Also, in the first stanza you have an un-needed apostrophe after GETTING and STARVING. You'd need one there only if you were dropping the final G and writing gettin' and starvin'. There's a great deal of emotion in this poem; it's most appealing.

Nice. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the whole poem. It is a bit classy and very serious. It really is a motivating poem and the cowboy character is simile awesomely powerful the way he shows his Diophantine and the way the writer tried to tell the right way to overcome disappointments and make yourself up is just brilliant.
