You set a good scene. Both remind me of the Westerns I read as a child (and still read occasionally even now).

I ...<br />Victoria Ceretto-Slotto to Glenn A. Buttkus<br /><br />I read your great poem Glenn. My internet provider is not being cooperative today so I will comment here. It amazes me how many directions the words of the prompt lead. When you write of the West it takes me back to my youth when horses and dude ranches were our favorite vacation. Your ability with words hurls me right into the saddle. Oh, those blisters.<br />Victoria Ceretto-Slottonoreply@blogger.com
