Special to this website...
  • This poetry book is a special Tribute to Cowboy Boots (...and those folks who make wear and admire them) . Click here to read through the Cowboy Boot Webpage's own "Book of Bootnik Poetry". This online poetry book is a remarkable collection of verse...written by a number poets, some poems written especially for this website. I hope it might inspire you, maybe to read more within the genre of cowboy poetry?...maybe to try a hand at writing some of your own?

  • A wonderful Southwestern folktale, entitled-- "A Fine Pair of Boots"...it's a story of lust or love (depending on your interpretations of these things), fancy boots and a REALLY BIG SNAKE! (I won't tell you the ending...you'll have to read it for yerself).

  • Here's a few old-time steps taken from Lloyd Shaw's 1939 book, "Cowboy Dances". All ya need are a pair of boots and little practice-- remember what they say...
    "The sand burrs prevail
    And so do the ants
    And those who sit down
    Need half-soles on their pants!"
