Stranger In Town....by StormTracker5

  Author:  17487  Category:(Poetry) Created:(2/6/2001 4:07:00 PM)

This is my first attempt at sort of a western
themed poem. Let me know if I should stay away
from it...lol...like if it's no good or something...
really I can take it...so abuse away...
but be nice, it's "G" rated here...

=====================================================

Pointed boots fall on the hardwood floor
As he passes slowly between each swingin' door
Stops long enough for a quick stare
To see who may be throwing an evil glare

Poker on the left, and Poker on the right
A piano player to get them through the night
He's traveled all day through the dust
Quenching his thirst is now a must

Spurs playing an odd little tune
As the stranger makes his way across the saloon
Not many stranger's make it to these parts
Often times that is how gun fights get their starts

Not knowing a soul in town
Strangers often walk in with a frown
The locals, not trying to take offense
Staring into his eyes makes some tense

Mozzing up to the bar for a drink
If challanged, the stranger wouldn't shrink
There's always one in every joint
Letting them know who ran things was their point

Just let the stragner quench his thirst
From his gun tragedy will soon burst
Then it comes from across the crowded hall
The stranger hears that one magic word, DRAW!

Date: 2/7/2001 6:33:00 AM  From Authorid: 19869    thats really cool... but u asked for a lil abuse.. u can get that from me any day :P... emmm.. it desribes it all quite good but the only thing i thought could be done differently was the style u writ it in. it seems a lil plain and basic and would seem so much more western if u addopted their speech a lil more... u described it well but without the western way of speeking it seems like a western in the 21st century so doesnt quite get the right atmosphere... well it looks like im the 1st to critisize it but u asked for it :P... try another 1 and see how it goes... i would say it couldnt get any worse.... so i will... but id only be lying... :P.. its great  
Date: 2/7/2001 6:36:00 AM  From Authorid: 19869    the good the bad and the ugly... i can do it backwards... ur the ugly.. this poem is bad.. there is no good in it! :P... jk...  
Date: 2/7/2001 6:45:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 17487    lol @ eddy...I knew I could count on you..I see what you are saying about the "speech" of it though. Great point. ST5  
Date: 2/7/2001 6:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 18103    Great work bro! I kept hearing the theme for RAWHIDE while I read it. :-) I love westerns! Keep up the good work bro.GRAYWOLF65
