Cowboys Only Line Dance

just for fun and exercise :))) captcha .... "mating" ...i am not lying!

Cowboys only Line Dance

Her contemporary footwork slid silk 

across steel grey flint

a hint ...........

she plie'd and squared her hips;

breeze, sway stepping in line

with sublime electric quick draw and

John Wayne swag

He backs up ....

bows his head 

tips his hat and

smiling wide sky charm   -   speaking

milk tongued draaaaaaaaawl .........

says:

"I only line dance ma'am! ....................."

dear Gene... I met Roger at "Bronco Billy's" in 1987 with a
Band that arrived at seven pm every night.
I had my eyes on a Cowboy at the end of the Bar.
I asked him to dance, and he said, "Not unless they play
"Because of you, God made Oklahoma". I returned to my
Table, thought for awhile, and then asked the Band to
play that song. I have kept him in Cowboy Boots to this day.
He has kept me "In line" ever since. I think your poem is
very whimsical. truly, Pat

dear E... At the time I worked as a Secretary in a Patent and Trademark Law Firm in Washington, D.C. My boss had his birthday party at Bronco Billy's on the corner of 19th and L Street close to the building where we worked at the PTO Law Office. Roz and I decided to ask the two cute guys at the Bar to dance.
I just bought Roger a new pair of Tecovas black leather Cowboy Boots. Love the Country song, "You're the reason God made Oklahoma" and I'm still missing you... a Calico Cat and a two room flat... by David Frizzell and Shelly West. truly, Pat bless you...

[Einstein Noodle]

you are too cool in school girl! :)

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, dear E.. life is a school where we continue to learn... especially from poetry, we gain a lot of insight. as ever, Pat

[barleygirl]

This is an awesome share, Pat! Such an inspirational pair, you two! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

There's something about a cowboy that I find most attractive. It's their swagger, the gentlemanly way they walk, and talk in the presence of a woman. The tip of the hat would simply do me in, but what a way to go! Loved this, Gene!

[Einstein Noodle]

hi Legs!!! you bless me always ma'am ;) and i fall in love, every time, with the grace, the power and expression in ballet :))))))) so happy you read and enjoyed ... makes me face giggle

[Pryde Foltz]

Some folks like it technical fancy and some folks like to know what is coming their way. However will our ballerina and cowboy find a way to make beautiful music together. A wonderful work here. The Bowie accompaniment was a good touch.

[Einstein Noodle]

i surely like David Bowie's work .. thank you for mentioning it ... and i have the same hope for the both of them ;) love does cover a multitude of sins ... or imperfections if you will :) i am so glad you are gracing the Cafe' ... such sunshine in your smile ... joy and assurance my friend!

One day my neighbor mentioned how she would go to this club and line dance. "You line dance?" I blurted out. Then she showed me some short moves. God, I thought, who would want to dance with a stick like that. "Wow, very nice." I said. All the while knowing she was awful. No sway stepping from her. lol

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahahah well, Relic, at least you heard her out ;} i have line danced a few times and its especially rousing the more you drink :)))))))))) thanks so much for stopping by sir! love on ya!
E.

[Einstein Noodle]

ps. do you think David Bowie line danced? :)

[Relic]

Absolutely, he did plenty of lines in his day. lol

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahah i suppose he did :))))))))))))))))))

[Eugi]

This piece brings on fond memories. I loved line dancing but found it was more fun to watch relationships grow - know what I mean?

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha yep ... oh those relationships :)))))))))) so happy you are roaming the Cafe' Eugi ... i hope you find it a place to stay a while ... peace and love

Yes, I am enjoying this site. I spend the majority of my time with my 2 blogs and a couple of sites I write for but this site caught my eye and is very welcoming.

[Corset]

Somehow I could never imagine John Wayne line dancing but the image of it just now was immensely amusing, he always seemed too awkward with the lady's except with maybe Miss Kitty from Gun smoke...she could do it I bet! She who made it her business to put the cowboys at ease :D I have lined danced tho, and two stepped also but that was some time ago, the only line dancing I do now is in a line at the ladies room door :D

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha you are too funny Corset!! thank you for stepping in to read .. Kitty played up to Marshal Dillon (James Arness) not the Duke ;) I don't believe John Wayne ever did a TV series .. all movies .. that is an amusing image isn't it?! John Wayne sashayed ..no Electric slide in it :))))))))) but he could shoot the boots off of the best of 'em ..appreciate your time ma'am! peace and love
E.

[Corset]

yeah but I still bet she could get him to sashay into line LD

[Paul Bell]

Got this image of John Wayne now.
Always fancied dressing up as a cowboy and being a bronco Billy.
Definitely still romance surrounding cowboys, the last of the wild boys now that we're all suburban jessies now. Plus, a Stetson just makes you look cool.

[Einstein Noodle]

i agree .. and Bronco Billy is still cool in school ;) i have been catching a bit of a new series "The Last Cowboy" .. a reality show about cowboys competing in "Reining" .. a series of tricks and maneuvers at a very relaxed pace .. ending in "skidding" .. which is what the show is mostly about .. pretty incredible how the horses are trained so well .. they have lowered head and the rider is loose in the saddle .. pretty cool stuff even for a tin horn like me ;) thanks always for the visits sir! much appreciated

Never been on a horse, backed a few donkeys mind you, need to get it on my need to do list before the taxman gets me.

[Einstein Noodle]

did you know that farmers and cattlemen will have donkeys mixed in with their herds because the donkeys will keep coyotes away ... donkeys and mules are something else .. hmmmmmmm that gives me an idea to sit on .. g'day sir! top o' the mahrnin' to ya!

[Benita-Staebell M - Kin..]

I got a giggle out
of this it was so cute
with a lot of spunk and
character.


But I will say
there isn't a woman
that doesn't love a shy
cowboy in sexy tight jeans
😉

Nicely penned

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha i guess i missed out Benita .. tho in HS we did "peg" our pants ... a prelude to skinny no doubt .. glad you enjoyed ma'am!
E.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

Thank You I did Sir 😁

[Pete]

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks Pete .. time to sign up then eh!? time for me anyway .. i am looking for a group that teaches clogging here in the Ozarks .. just looks like so much fun .. see ya 'round the corral pahdner! :)

[barleygirl]

This is so visual & palpable & nicely paced with an "aw-shucks" kinda cowboy slow-shyness between swaggerin' lines. I love how your poem inspired others into great shares! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Einstein Noodle]

Margie... i am so surprised by these responses .. i guess dance just "brings it" eh!? .. really happy you found this one for sure .. i see you dancing in the moonlight all the time dahlink! ;)))

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Love this 'E'. It is short and the descriptions give the reader no doubt about the picture playing out as the unsophisticated cowboy makes his excuses. Fun and tongue in cheek.

[Einstein Noodle]

this was fun to write .. it took many a twist and turn .. a lot of cuts but finally made it to the post .. like i said to Margie .. the reaction to this is surprising to me .. i honestly didn't think much of it .. funny how that works .. love on ya brother .. thank you so much for your visits .. glad you enjoyed
