Old Cowboy Ron, well, that is me.
I never went to school.
I grew up working on a ranch,
and yet I ain't no fool.

Revisiting one of my favorite poems. It's always a delight to read this.
This is a beautiful delightful poem Ron, the kind that tells a story and brings a smile to the face. Therefore unlike some poetic styles enjoyed by many. I loved your verse.
5 stars, ....even though this is not true: 'I'll never be no bard. Ron, you are and shall always remain 'no bard', pard. As for types of poems and symbolism, I don't understand that stuff either. So there! ! bri ;)
Better late than never! Love your wholesome style of writing! Awesome 5 stars!
Awesome! .. Writing what's in the heart! .. And being you! .. A fabulous poem from beganing to end! .. Definite 5 Stars! ...+++++
Howdy, Ron, .... you may never see this, so why should i write more? ? your photo (or is it a current movie star?) looks too young to be an old guy. : ) bri
Ron, my time and patience on PH is short. i simply will wish you well, and say i'm glad you are able to use PH a bit, as i am (a very little bit. i am wondering when a funeral will be held for this site. Hmm? bri : )
Poetry is full of big words, but sometimes it's just good to say it like it is, no hidden meaning to decree just good honest entertainment
Pretty much sums up how most view poetry, people like humour and rhyme and rythm
A wonderful, honest and heartfelt poem. A part of this poem resonates with me. Sometimes the best poetry comas from inside...in our heart.
This poem is a delight! I loved it. Meter and rhyme are very smooth. I also enjoyed reading about your life. You have lived a full and interesting life. We are close to the same age. Keep writing and I will, too.yed reading
I barely survive school and I don't know any the glossary of poetic terms but I am doing it don't put yourself down
For a cowboy who's had no formal schoolin', you done good with this poem, and......I ain't foolin'. : ) bri
'I wrote it because it had to come out. It was inside me and I had to free it, no matter how bad it was.' Ron, this is EXACTLY how I feel each morning about my ; I mean 'real ', not like your poetry. : )))))) bri
My words ain't polished, that's for sure.; my grammar might be rough. I just write what sounds good to me; if you don't like it nice at 80 you need to read my poetry MOMS SMILES IF U WISH TO POET I TOO 80
Thanks for the comment, Yeps. I have already read that poem of yours. You need to add an apostrophe in the title. I'm sure you know where.
I read your poetry for the feeling that I get from reading them... it's like I'm down at the barn again listening to the old cowboys swap tales of the old days... my my my, the things I learned before they noticed that little girl's eyes growing awesomely big! ! ! You keep writing from your heart- -never mind the froo-fras [however they are spelled! ]
Susan, thank you so much for the comment. Your comments always make me feel so good.
You don't need a doctarate to be smart, I find learning from life is just as wonderful, teaching ones self to read and write and indeed to share with the world through poems is a massive achievement. I really enjoyed this self worth piece. Kudos.
