Outstanding! I think I met one or both at Albuquerque last year--or was that somone else. Names and faces seem to fade into one after meeting that many in so short a time. Good to hear from you! Thanks. Dick

Horse Angels
By Richard Porter aka Will Killem
I hope that horses go to Heaven when they die
That they live forever in paradise in the sky
In that Heavenly valley so serene and sweet
Ole Bud is there with silver in his eyes
and golden shoes upon his feet
And when my time on this mortal plane is done
I pray to sweet Jesus
that into paradise I too may come
So ole Bud and I can saddle
and ride once more
Where the hay clouds are so sweet
and the beautiful horse angels soar

Good afternoon Ralph. I'd be glad to send some, in fact if it would be better I can send one of my books that has some stries and a few poems also. Or I can just send some poetry which ever you prefer.

Well, Reb, The Bat is all that, isnt it? You dont pitch you dont win, simple as that.
Comment by Ralphs Backporch on August 31, 2009 at 12:56pm
Sure, we aint near so sniffy as other folks seem to be.
Reb, you cannot tell me that cowboypoetry.com said they dont take 'contemporary' poems....I know that isnt true!
