My first attempt at writing a poem.............................

[Kelley (Texas)]

I have always wanted to write a poem...this is my first one. I have named this poem "The Cow Herd."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
THE COW HERD

Today I had to ride out to check the fence,
I had to be sure that I tied the saddle cinch.

Along the way I finally spotted the herd,
also, look over there and see the pretty bird.

Hour after hour I did ride,
I wonder why Coyotes hide.

In the distance I heard a cow say "moo,"
ever get scared when someone says "boo."

I know of a woman by the name of Sunny,
She is always saying something that is funny.

Writing this poem has been kinda fun,
I think I will stop and eat a hotdog on a bun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Well, there you have it folks, my first poem. This poem was kinda difficut to write using words that would rhyme with each other...some how I found a way to do it. I must confess that this is not only my first poem to write, but will probably be my last poem to write as well! You all can make a copy of it if you would like to share it with others. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)

and a lot better than I could have done. I hope Sunny doesnt get too shaken up with her name being in your first poem,"The COW HERD" She'll get over it though and probably wont even read it since she is at Deer Camp.

Sunny caught the biggest fish of her life today, but that's all I'm saying about it. Make her write a story about it. Be sure and wish her a Happy fifty-whatever,(I lost count), Birthday today.

Arkie is coming home Saturday evening at 5 pm, a little a head of schedule.

You got just about everything I could think of in the poem; work, time, animals, mystery, women, humor, and food!

And you said you couldn't write a poem.

Even has style; I enjoyed it.

that the words rhymed? My goal was to tell a cow herd story, but I kinda think I might have strayed from the subject just a tab...you must remember that this was my first poem. Also, I can not find my Texas Century Dictionary, 2005 edition with the pictures...without my dictionary, this poem was more difficult to compose. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)

I always thought that writing a poem would be difficult, but it is easy once you understand that the key is to use words that rhyme with each other. Wayne, you can do it! Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)

for some reason, she has never struck me as one that enjoyed doing book work...maybe being in my "Cow Herd" poem will encourage her to write a nice poem or two. I must admit, after Debbie read it and laughed for near an hour, I almost did not post it. I am avoiding her at the moment because everytime I see her she starts laughing all over again. If someone from Reader's Digest sees this poem, I may become famous and then we will see who gets the last laugh. Tom, thanks for reading my poem. Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)

I wrote some songs and made a record many years back when I was in a band. But now, I probably could not get two words to rhyme.... I think that's a crime... maybe I will have some wine...I could come across the line.....and since it is after nine [o'clock].

I am going to bed!!!!

You also wrote 'in the moment' as I see you quit while you you were doing great and stopped to eat.

Your next project will have to be done foodless.

How about a branding poem? Any fashon at all using brands like, 'The Lazy K' or something like that. Here's a hint, try using all the brands you know and even some you make up. Maybe even use some of the local folks here as subject matter!

You're a poet.....
And didn't know it.....
But your feet show it.....



They're longfellows!
