Photos to Art and Memories to Poetry

This was an older photo I turned into artwork for my latest cowgirl poem. For those who don't know, western poetry is about pure rhythm and true rhyme, tells a story and comes from the heart. I'm happy to admit that I had a little coaching a while back from an award winning western poet himself, Clark Crouch. He really helped me to better understand what "cowboy/cowgirl" poetry is all about. I hope you enjoy! It's my memories of my Little Bits that I had to give up a few months ago.
neat shot and story. cowboy/girl poetry is great! i'll be going to a local Christmas craft sale soon and there is always tons of cowboy art and poems

@laurentye Thank you, Lauren! Yes, I love cowboy art and poetry! Some day, I'd love to make to the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV! They have camp cooking cookoffs, too! It just amazes me what the ol' camp cooks can do in a dutch oven!
