Anyhow this poem needs a title . So I figure ,its time for another contest . Give it a shot and help me out if you can .
A farmer and cowboy
a hunter and such
You could tell to look at
him he didn’t eat much
A burger and some whiskey
He will never tire
A guy like that’s built
Out of old baling wire
Tall lean and lanky
With a fist like a mitt.
Call him out when he is drinking
And he will get into it!
A jab or a punch, and
Down on the ground
He will give it his all
on every go round
But tell him his friend
Has got in a bind
He will stop in an instant
and leave it behind
He will show up to help
And bring along a crew
And whatever you need,
Well that’s what he’ll do
They don’t make them quite
Like that anymore
But the ones that are here,
Are good ones for sure Hoping to get back to the horses soon , and maybe take a few pictures . Possibly from a different perspective than lately too...
Stay safe everyone

I love your poem. You've got such a fun way with words! :)
I'm not sure why, but when I read this, I was picturing a little piece of art where a stick figure cowboy was made out of barbed wire. Just thought you should know. :)
I know. I've got a different way of looking at things. LOL
What a very nice person you described!
How about...
"A Guy Like That"
It entices one to know who the poem is about just kind of describes exactly who he is once the poem is read. Everyone needs "A Guy Like That," in their life either as a friend or family!
Take care!

I was going to come up with a title but I like Ann's too much. I can just picture Judy's wire-y cowboy.
Great poem!!
Closed fist, open heart
Boy Im gonna have to think on that a while, but its a good one, needs a perfect title.

How about Ghost rider , or Legend of the Cowboy ! Have a great day !

WO you are all great! Love all the titles, the ones I don't use ,would you mind if I use for a future poem?
The barbed wire cowboyyou pictured sounds just rightJudy.
I read this earlier in the day and have thought about it for the rest......I'm still thinkin' but IF I come up with something other than A Junkyard Cowboy.....I'll let you know;)))) Great bunch of words.....you're VERY talented with 'em!
Mind's a blank.
No surprise there!
Great poem!
Hmmmm.....
Old Time Cowboys
or
They don't make em like that anymore
although that's a long title.
good poem!!
Great poem!
How 'bout:
"Rough Edges and Hearts of Gold"
"Good Hearted Feral Cowboys"
~Lisa
OH!!! I like Lisa's "Rough Edges and Hearts of gold" !!!
Tweaking a previously mentioned thought.
Rough edged golden heart or
Heart of gold with rough edges...
Problem is, we overlook the roughness and the tattered edges, because we gaze at the beauty in their core.
I know a few of those types of guys. There are nowhere near enough of them in the world.
True Gems maybe?
