On horses for me instead of the pick up trucks lol ! Have a good day !

This sounds like a fella I know down in Arkansas - sure suits him I'd say. Great job - I like this poem.

November 24, 2014 at 6:18 AM

I wonder if such men are really just a dream.. maybe that's why they are dreams..

November 24, 2014 at 6:53 AM

Great poem Gail! Reminds me of a combination of kind old fellows in my neck of the woods.

Sounds like you are dreaming of your husband!

November 24, 2014 at 7:38 AM

I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.. this is what i would write if i knew how... this dream man was what i dreamed of from age 13 up...

Are there still such men out there? I hope so.

:-)

November 24, 2014 at 8:10 AM

How on earth have I missed you all this time....never mind....I'm here now.

They grow those cowboy types in Texas. It's so refreshing!

November 24, 2014 at 8:48 AM

Nothin' like a cowboy!
Sadly, it's been all too many years since I've gone to Cheyenne Frontier Days or the Greeley Stampede. Plenty of cowboy action in both of those places! Also there's the demolition derby, where one can let one's inner redneck come out and have fun.

I don't dream of men, but I know what you mean. I've seen these men in movies and enjoy the romance of that strength. Nicely parsed, image by image, to build a man.

November 24, 2014 at 9:19 AM

Amen, Gail. These men are few and far between...and very special.

November 24, 2014 at 9:22 AM

Hi Gail, Thanks so much for commenting on my blog today. I have missed you... Hope you are keeping Arkansas in ONE HAPPY PIECE just for us.. We love that state SO much!!!!

I didn't find me a cowboy---but I did find the 'bestest' guy in the world for me: smart, compassionate, loving, and he drives a Prius!!!!!!

Great poem...
Hugs,
Betsy

romantic and ruggedly touching. :)

November 24, 2014 at 9:23 AM

Beautifully penned. I enjoyed reading this. :)

November 24, 2014 at 9:34 AM

A great tribute to those type of men who observe gentility and manners. And, cowboys are the best image of that.

Oh, by the way, I listed you as a blogger I would miss if you stopped blogging.

November 24, 2014 at 10:55 AM

Me too! A most perfect dream to live!

November 24, 2014 at 10:58 AM

wonderful and inspiring words to aspire to live by, especially if your a man.

i enjoy the expectation of making every moment count especially when it entails the love of anything or anyone.

November 24, 2014 at 11:56 AM

I believe he is already with you, the dream man. I esp love ' men
who whisper to horses,
dogs,
children,
and ladies' stanza. Much Love x

November 24, 2014 at 12:33 PM

These are the men from Back In the Day. I can SEE him, in your poem, slapping his hat against his leg, a little shy.......well done.

November 24, 2014 at 12:57 PM

When you find that fella, see if he has an older brother.

November 24, 2014 at 2:43 PM

You sound like you know what you are taking about! Lets go to a rodeo!

November 24, 2014 at 2:53 PM

When you find a man like that, you have to rope him in, and never let him go! What a wonderful poem! I'm so glad I found you on Susan Kane's blog!

I really love it, thanks for making me smile.

November 24, 2014 at 4:23 PM

The world needs more men like this! Well done.

November 24, 2014 at 5:37 PM

What a lovely poem.....I'm sure there are some of those men milling about in society nowadays....but I know they are fewer and further between.

November 24, 2014 at 7:02 PM

An old view of men, and quite sexist in my opinion. But still politeness is always needed more.

November 24, 2014 at 9:18 PM

Politeness and chivalry is not dead.

November 24, 2014 at 10:03 PM

Creative! I enjoyed reading this!

P.S. Interesting - but on my blog reading list just now I found 3 blogs posts, almost in a row, about dreams. I hope I have a good dream tonight. And pleasant dreams to you.

November 24, 2014 at 10:08 PM

Ah...a cowboy, a gentleman...beautiful dream

November 24, 2014 at 11:09 PM

I, too, dream of men who are real and unafraid to show it!

This sounds like a wonderful song, Gail!
