But cowpoke poetry's all over the place. To explain the phenomenon further, we call on that raconteur, bon vivant, and CowBoy Poet Fred Engel. The Lone Prairie Poetry Page invites CowBoy poets to add their works to the distinguished and semi-distinguished band of bards already published here. All entries are judged on neatness and appropriateness. Decision of the judges is final, and there is absolutely no prize nor compensation whatsoever.
Rewards are limited to our heartfelt thanks and whatever fame and glory comes along.
Now cowboy poetry has been around For a heck of a long time. It's just common everyday stuff, Stories that cowboys have put to rhyme. It sort o' got lost in the shuffle Back there for a while. But since the gatherings, like the ones started in Elko, It's become what some call a new popular style. Not at all.
