Today’s challenge is to try and write the shortest possible four-line poem. Would you like to try? Pass on the challenge to other bloggers - and please let me know how you fare!
Greetings from Texas! Thanks for stopping by my blog today...I am not sure if you were serious about me being a "wannabe" cowgirl. I don't think you meant to insult me. Just to let you know, I grew up on a ranch and have rodeoed my entire life. I was horseback before I could walk and grew up working cattle. In Texas, a "wannabe" defines someone who tries to dress the part and knows nothing about being a REAL cowboy/cowgirl. Another word for it is "drugstore cowboy"...most "wannabes" have never even set foot on a ranch, much less ever rode a horse.
I look forward to reading your blog and please feel free to come back anytime and read mine as well! It is great having someone in Australia read it!
