Rodeo King

by Katarina Tyler

By Katarina TylerPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Love looks like a city slicking cowboy

he’ll have spurs in his eyes

a soft leather tongue and

palms fit to tame a horse or

lasso a tree

He’s a classic cattleman in big shiny shoes

I’m stealing his stetson

there’s steel in his lessons

for a silly mountain girl

just twenty-three

Warm rolled tobacco between his tough teeth

the kiss of a cowboy

is a 5 o'clock shadow

straight down the center of the

city of dreams

My Madison Avenue rodeo king

lasso my altitude heart

still riding bareback

through cold western winds

come rescue me

love poems
