Grins and Snickers

Two stepping sober, not new to me
Love to dance and tease,
Watch the crowd as she spins skirt
Showing knickers grins and snickers

Hot working oil stains deep in the ten dollar
Bills I have little to pay
But night flirts and whiskey big time romps
Buckle close to her damp pleats fanning

Boots worn for need not show
A horse wasn't born wanting
To jerk a steer or jump from a thought
Wanting to put their nose in front

Dancing is just a way to find a wife
Wild western wasp waisted women
Runs and jumps  legs around me
Her spurs scratching a thigh a knee

Rockies sporting a leg long logo
one 800 you wish.....
Not me, no way,Calf rope..
You win, I give....

Damp nose to my brim hat tipped
one step now spin tequila infused
Mom or cold weather muse?
Turning her arm across, with the flow..

Elbow at my belt an anchor
The safe spot damp pleats and she can
cling to,no hurry I think I will give
Fall to her will jump from a thought

Maybe just be, upside down
Together in the desert
Truck bed and horse trailer
One tied high with a bowline

Belt on the tire well
boots and pleats hung headache rack high
Cedar pinion snaps Quick release
Thank god for dancing women horses and trucks......

The ending made it all worth reading. I found it interesting when you penned:

Dancing is just a way to find a wife

that's exactly the belief upheld on my mother's side. You don't dance unless you plan on getting hiched. They call it courting....but I call them "bluff"

[lee von cleef]

Thank you for getting here first I thought that Freida Jersey Girl would beat you...
Not ...bless the great white north...

[Muse]

Photo shopper.....

[Muse]

use your imagination dear poet!

[Chris]

yes...thank god for em all...

[Sami Khalil]

Abrakadabra . Magical . Can you pull rabbits from hats too...Just kidding...:)

[SHEEMA HUQ]

how do you do ? in the words of Johnny Cash.....this is a rather kinky cowboy caper, words of a show down exhibitionist in the deep South, very visual, very good

[lee von cleef]

how about that Kinky Friedman and his Texas Jew Boy"s.... only in the west.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

Strange of me, I apologise profusely I kind of new this fact about you from what I had read previously, don't mind me, best wishes

[lee von cleef]

That really is the name of a band here in the west, the lead even ran for Governor of Texas, I forget the internet is on the world stage, and "local" doesn't always mean green chile,to everyone, that said thank you for reminding me,And yes I do like Johnny Cash. Very much his own artist not a conformer in my view, he added to the whole of life.

Eeehaw- no urban cowboy here. Wipe off the dust and go a courtin'. Sounds like liquor laced fun.

[lee von cleef]

Can't hardly afford to be a cowboy today, but my heart is strong and the Bourbon good, so I will yodel along.Thank you....

[emmajoy]

Oh you cheeky thing! Reading this is like watching a naughty cowboy movie - fourth stanza's beautifully graphic.

There's a great story running through your poem, words extravagantly put, great phrasing in your own very special language, '.. Maybe just be, upside down ~ Together in the desert ~ Truck bed and horse trailer ~ One tied high with a bowline ...'

[lee von cleef]

Cheeky, I thought I herd a hoot owl. Thanks it is fun, to of been young.

[emmajoy]

Young's in the heart and smile of the hooting owl, sir.

This reader found himself tired; drunk and with his feet hurtin', all the while whirling and trapped in your vivid imagery. The thing is, I'm a big proponent of writing about things that are true to the poets heart, stuff that they've lived. Experiences that course through their blood and wiggle between their DNA. That's what you did in your piece "Soul," and in what you've done here. You can't fake that.

[lee von cleef]

the world is a lot easier to understand when you you know a piece of it well.

[SyberRose]

Thats so cute ha...a fun read...the title says snikers ...did you mean snickers?

[lee von cleef]

Yep I'll Fix that, hanks oh Thanks, Too much fun...

[Frieda P]

You knew I'd love this one, I felt myself dancing, well I cut it short at her spurs scratching a thigh, you need music to go with this one....much enjoyed, it twirled my senses! Love the line...

'Wild western wasp waisted women'

ha waisted or wasted?! lol

[lee von cleef]

Well my computer red lined me, but I meant narrow like a wasp's, but wasted , fits too...it used to be a term of gals in the ? 50's

[Frieda P]

50's? How old are you? ;-)

[lee von cleef]

GI Joe ask me again and you still won't know.

[Frieda P]

Geez, I thought only women wouldn't tell their ages...

[lee von cleef]

whats you name ? "Pudding" and you know Pudding is Delicious "

[lee von cleef]

I am your age, well maybe a little older....

[Trigorin]

Not bad. Some of your language is a little stilted and odd, but you have a good concept and, for the most part, you get your point across very well. Good use of imagery, but just keep an eye on the odd word choice here and there.

[lee von cleef]

Yep I will read it by the morning light, after a good nights rest, and see what my daylight brain thinks...things scuffle in the night.

[Heromen Selena]

Other than this..."Elbow at my belt a anchor" should it be "Elbow at my belt an anchor"? Just a small correction, but other than that this is really great. I'm not too familiar with horses or trucks, but I understood enough. This is really good! Keep writing my friend :)

[lee von cleef]

Thank you I am too familiar with horses...

[Heromen Selena]

I wish I was. I loved riding horses, but I was too young to remember much. Thank you for the wonderful read :)
