Thanks for the pinged poem. It was very nice. I have one like that called; "The Old Orchard" let me know if you'd like me to send it your way.

Again, enjoyed yours.

I start in MS-Word, choose symbols, go to the second screen of symbols and there you'll find the copyright. Then I simply just cut and paste. Let me know if you need more help.

Nice to be your friend.

Friends? Of course we're friends. I am a friendly cowboy werewolf. And as King of La La Land, I declare you an honorary citizen. To welcome new friends I always offer up one of my poems at random, shall I go find you one?

Outlaw Love
©Robert C Burnham

She was in jail on the day I met her
Still can’t recall how I got her name
She was lonely and near broken
I guess we were pretty much the same

She wanted me to take her
And to somehow set her free
I just wanted to ride forever
To find a love to comfort me

We went up into the mountains
Above the prairies and the plains
I know I drove her crazy
While she was driving me insane

Our passions stole our hearts
And conquered all the sky
We never stopped to wonder
We never bothered to ask ‘why’

We were outlaws by trade
We were rogues by skill
We did what we had to
And when we had to – we killed

They chased us to the border
Into the streets of Durango
We let our pleasures distract us
As we danced a fast fandango

They shot me and they took her back
To the place she was before
Where once in solitude she lived
As an angel on the moor

Sometimes when she’s lying back
She sees my spirit in the sky above
And in the deepest portion of her heart
She remembers our outlaw love.
