Not a figment of imagination
But a vivid recollection
Of yester years action heroes
Handsome cowboys, herding horses
Of tough terrains and tales of tall men
In rugged jeans and rumpled shirts
Grazing horses in wild pastures
Rising dust of the galloping hooves
Riding the vast open spaces
And the swagger of the sheriffs
Anarchy and antognism
Of pride and passion.
Swiftness of the draw ,a shooter’s pride
So captured by celluloid
Stories of a bygone era
Swaying to country cha cha
Weaves a web of intrigue
Imprinted in hearts are these
Forever more, the evergreen memories …
Savvy Raj
‘A picture speaks a thousand words …. and movies leave lasting impressions… While perhaps the reality may be different the impact of the Wild West movies was quite a phenomenon.
This is a photo inspired poem dedicated to all the Celluloid Cowboys’.

Savvy , how timely. The cowboys of Texas state lead their flooded animals to safety on their horses . This ancient art came in handy in modern days during current hurricane conditions in Huston. They do deserve all the credit. Thank you for your lovely post.

Thank you Luda for the thoughtful mention.
While this poem was written back in time I shared it here today out of admiration for the courage and spirit of resilience to survive against all odds.
Although the makebelieve world of movies reflect illusions more than reality they also reflect hope and strength when reality bites.
Have a few friends in Houston myself,who have had to be evacuated to safety from the flooded houses.
Sending out a prayer of hope for one and all in need of heartfelt support and strength .
