Ode To Marshall Wyatt Earp



Wyatt Earp a western lawman extraordinaire.
You could call him greatness, that would be fair.
Anyone whoever would call down his thunder,
Tells no living tales anymore,and it's no wonder.
Took a man hard with moral courage and a fast hand.

Everyone in Dodge is grateful, he took a firm stand.
Ask any resident in Tombstone,they'll understand.
Righteous courage a need, to tame a lawless west.
Proud we can  be of Marshall Wyatt Earp,the very best.

    Great job, Suseann! The rhyming acrostic is really hard and I commend you for a job well done! Plus having been to Tombstone several times and living in an area where Wyatt Earp made a difference this poem really hit home. Nicely done!

    Hello ,i thought i would drop in and see what you guys have come up with as i'm in the round 2 contest.
    This is a great arcrostic and it's even better because it rhymes, doing the whole acrostic thing with rhyme i find very hard but you've made it look easy.. Great piece
    Goodluck to you
