Back In The Old West Poem by Marilyn Lott
Back In The Old West
Uneasiness filled the air
As a stranger rode into town
Tension was stretched so thin
It was felt by everyone around
Animals felt the stress as well
Some scurried from the spot
More riders circled ‘round
The tension was getting hot
Guns were drawn and ready
Hands on holsters as well
Everyone growing apprehensive
Worried hearts began to swell
It was the day when no one knew
For sure how things would go
When a stranger rode into town
Life immediately began to slow
It was a time when folks were leary
Afraid to trust their fellow man
A shame if we become that way again
Not so hard now to understand!
Wow.....a great reminiscence of the old west.....the cowboys era....where the gangsters triumphed horribly.Great old writes Marilyn!

Marillyn, I really like this poem. I love the tale it tells and the message it sends. I like your natural unforced rhyming. A 10 from me. Regards Ron
