Writers Group at New UnderwoodThe Saddle RackA monthly column of stories (some may even be true), cowboy poetry, free advice, ramblin's, and whatever else comes to mind. The following was taken from the CowboyPoetry.com web site. Slim McNaughtwas recognized as one of the 8 Second Winnersin the global Poet Lariate Laureate competition for his poem, "Cold Weather Feedin'" © 2006, Slim McNaught Slim told us about his inspiration for the poem: You know, it don't make any difference what time of year it is or what kind of weather you're in, if you just watch a bunch of horses for a few minutes doin' what horses do, you will feel blest. This "Cold Weather Feedin'" is one of those times. We asked Slim why he writes Cowboy Poetry and why he thinks it is important: Cowboy Poetry is a heritage passed down to us from our ancestors, and we are fortunate enough to have the chance to honor them by maintaining their principles and continuing their style of poetry. Keep a leg on each side and your mind in the middle and you'll never have to walk home. ©1999 Slim McNaught Slim and Darlene will be at the Girl Scout Cabin in the City Park at Valentine, NE on August 12.
