Cowboy Poetry

Ok ya'll this is a contest for anyone who is interested in horses or cowboys at all. remember it doesn't have to rhyme to be cowboy poetry. I would prefer it doesn't but if you think you are amazing go ahead. OK Here are the options.....
1. Tell me about cowboy/girl love. no erotica!
2. Tell me about the greatest cowpony ever! or the greatest rodeo horse.
3. Write about rodeo! Its a great thing tell me why or how you feel about it or your memories of it. DO NOT BASH RODEO! any of ya'll treehuggers that think rodeo is cruel DO NOT enter!
4. Tell me about the range! tell me about it's beauty. tell me about it's hardship.
5. Tell me about a cowboy's life.
6. Tell me about goin ons around a ranch. make the simple things I find amazing come to life.
7. This one is only if you think you can do it well! give me a typical day inside the life of a ranch or rodeo horse(I don't care what event).
8. Give me anything about a individual rodeo event. tell me why you love it.
9. Tell me about your cowboy angel whether it be two legged or four.
10. tell me about your favorite "famous" cowboy. By this I don't mean John Wayne He wasn't a real cowboy. Tell me about the boys in the PBR and the NFR.
Ok I think that's it FOR NOW!
Now for the rules
1. DON'T BASH RODEO OR COWBOYS
2. If you don't know anything about it don't write about it.

    Well, you asked about my favorite "cowboy", this is a toss up since Chris Shivers is related to my uncle (actually my aunt is married to his 2nd cousin) and lives just down the road. I guess he would be my favorite for the PBR cowboy especially when I see him all the time. But other than that it would have to be my brother who was into team roping. My brother passed away a few years back though. Sad but true. I will have to see what I can come up with for this contest. I am surrounded by cowboys, and rode horses for years (though I don't ride anymore). I just don't know yet what to write on. I will get something in for this though. Great contest. Good luck with the judging.
