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

This is both visually and poetically brilliant - love it! Love the pics, the difference one to the other and the near formal compared with the gorgeous line dance guy's cool, ' I only line dance ma'am! ....................."

I did a little ballet when young (a billion years ago) and occasionally go to line-dance evenings, fun and games.. love them both, in spite of their differences. The one flies and swirls, the other glides and stomps.. what a partnership on any floor, be it a twosome or a group-some, come to think of it!

[Einstein Noodle]

emmajoy! your review has put a smile on me face and in me heart ... and lifts my own feet to dancing .. thanks so much for taking time and for sharing your thoughts and a piece of your life .. yew... different ... perhaps the twain meets or not eh!? ;))))))))) love on ya dear friend!

Love the David Bowie tune E.! Have never tried line dancing (yet!) but your evocative words and imagery comparing ballet to line dancing is spot-on perfection. Very enjoyable read and now I’ll go buy some snakeskin cowboy boots-ha!

[Einstein Noodle]

my Dad bought a pair of cowboy boots when he retired "out West" and swore they were the most comfortable ever... thank you for mentioning the song ... great stuff .. and sad loss when he died :( thank you so much for reviewing ... glad you enjoyed the experience!

tween the difference lies a new choreography me thinks:) I got no clue what a line dance is i'm a drummer and a singer so was never very good at rules... like the expression in this

[Einstein Noodle]

if you get a notion to try .. i whole-heartedly encourage you to go for it .. its great fun! i like your idea for a union of the two .. would surely end with damaged extremities for me tho ;} Bunny! we were both drummers then ... for me in a high school rock n roll band .. we called ourselves the "Midnight Walkers" :))) played at school dances and college frat parties ..got in trouble everywhere we tried to practice ... if we got an hour in we were lucky .. but sure enough the police would show up because of the "noise" .. oh the 60s eh!? ... when i finally hit college i played the snare for the orchestra .. lots of memories aren't there ..thanks for taking time sir .. much appreciated!

You have captured the essence of MY Space poetry posting with this. I have no idea how you do it. This was endearing.. and a line dance beats no dance!

[Einstein Noodle]

Stephany!! great to meet you here at the Cafe' .. and you were/are on My Space??? seems like ages i use to post there ... i left, like many, when they changed everything and made it mostly music .. did we know each other there?? anyway .. nice to meet you and i feel pretty happy you caught the essence of this one .. line dancing is fabulous no doubt about it ;) i have to stop down your streets right away .. love and joy

I was a late comer to MySpace, starting in 2009 before the great implode of 2011. The time spent there, a little over a year, is where I learned to write. We commented occasionally on each other's work, but that was a long time ago. Nice to meet you here

[Einstein Noodle]

and that's where i started to learn as well .. i lost what i considered so many friends .. what a blessing to connect here at the Cafe' ... i love this place ... lots of respect and encouragement for all .. a few attacks of the "troll" but short lived and easy to recognize and block .. Welcome, welcome, welcome!!

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Interesting poem.
Cowboys are who they are reflecting the life they are used to.

Well written and well enjoyed.

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks Kay..glad you found something to enjoy in this one.. something a little less serious ;)

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

My pleasure...

[Lorry]

Well, being one of those men type things you'll have heard of, I would personally prefer to eat my own feet than use them to dance with.
Just another difference in a long list of differences between us. Women do it properly and we do it just badly enough not to be asked to do it again. You know, like the dishes, cleaning, laundry etc 😀
Always great to see new words from you E.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha .. well ... pardner! might just be a time for you to try a new pair of boots and get kickin' .. ;) i rather see this guy as having his own set of standards .. and you and me ... we're both creative writers tryin' to do our best .. and its the differences that flavor the Cafe' says i ..great to have your visits always sir .. thanks so much for your comments ... peace brother! :)

[Lorry]

Very try E. Where would we be if we were all the same flavour and style. Apart from making ordering a coffee easier 😀

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha ... i take mine black and strong just this side of bitter ;)

[Fran Marie]

I like this playful western vignette..huba hubba on the cowboy picture..now where did I put my cowgirl boots.I want to line dance now...haha..nice workE

[Einstein Noodle]

E.

[Fran Marie]

A fun read for sure E..you're so vey welcome my friend

[Chris Shaw]

Love the Bowie track Mr E. Your own lines most welcome, it is good to see something new from your pen. I enjoyed this little scenario very much along with your posted images. Never tried line dancing, but I very much enjoy watching it. Love to dance though and do so all the time. Dance in the house when doing my housework while no one's looking:)
Dance to my heart's content. All good wishes.

Chris

[Einstein Noodle]

rock on Christine .. i love that :))))))))))) hard not to be happy when dancing ... i am so happy you read this and shared this piece of your life .. i can see you now dust wand and vacuum cleaner in hand ... ;)))))))))))))))) love ya girl! thanks again for taking time here on me pages.

[Chris Shaw]

You got it Mr E. Dancing with a flick of the duster and waltzing with the hoover and then rocking with the broom :)

[Einstein Noodle]

love it dahlink!! you are a corker for sure!

[R.E. Ray]

I identify with this one! Less drama and less chance in injuring this aging body. But, writing a poem about it is even better. :)

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha yep! great to have your visit R.E. ... thanks so much for your comments!
