Movie Cowboys

Early on I fell in love
with the majesty of horses
and the allure of the movie cowboy.
The dashing. daring,
                   Errol Flynn.
The strong, steady, silent,
                   John Wayne.

I couldn't wait to grow up
to have my own horses.
Married myself a cowboy,
         some say, an Errol Flynn.
Raised our son to be a good man,
         most say, a John Wayne.

Movie cowboys and horses were my loves.
My loves became my life.

Nice work, Judi. Not only is the poem composed in an easy to read, attractive application of free verse, it has the appropriate autobiographical content.
