Ah, everyone loved the Duke. John Wayne was one of the great ones. A very cute and flirtatious piece. Nice one, Ruby.

I only know dukes of hazard ! Nice article!

I like it, my grand mas favorite man was the Duke, it was cool , great poem

John Wayne, also one of my favourite actors.

My husband is a big fan of his. I enjoy watching him act beside Kate Hepburn. They offset each other well.

Good job, Ruby

So cool, Ruby. You introduce me to the charisma of one man. I wasn’t born yet in his golden age.

Ok, so I`m not that old yet.. he he.. just keeps hearing his name from older people.. thanks for sharing..

Very cute, fun, original poem!

Blessings.

I showed this to my hubby. He thinks he is John Waynes biggest fan. He loved it. I am not that big on the Duke, but that my be because my hubby thinks he has to watch everytime he is on TV.

Ruby, you caught the style of his movies and acting perfectly!

Great work! another great poem from you Ruby. That was wonderful and beautiful pics too. Thanx 4 sharing

I love the old John Wayne films, very enjoyable poem, you captured his style perfectly.

Wonderful!

Great piece on the Duke!

Liked it…

This is a great poem!

John Wayne was pretty much everyone’s favourite cowboy. I liked him too.

Great poem Ruby of a legend. My favorite movie of John Wayne’s was The outlaw and the lady. Well done.

Sound like a really macho guy. Great poem, Ruby!

Oh, Ruby, I loved the Duke. As a little girl I dreamed he would carry me away on his horse. I remember when he died. I was in nursing school and the group was having breakfast and reading the paper and someone said,” No! John Wayne died.” It broke my heart.

I thought everyone would know John Wayne or of him anyway. He was the greatest in his day. I grew up watching all his movies. My favorites were the ones he stared in with Mareen Ohara. I thought they were great together. \”The Quiet Man\” I have seen I don\’t know how many times. It wasn\’t a cowboy movie but still it was his own unique style that was so enjoyable. Thanks to you all for your interest. And good luck to you. Ruby

hmm… great one!

Great tribute to a great man Ruby. Very well written.

A true legend. What a charming tribute to the Duke.

While I am a fan of the westerns, my favorite John Wayne Picture was The Quiet Man. Great little tribute.

Great tribute to an icon of western cinema! Fitting for me that my favorite John Wayne movie is “The Shootist”, which was his last movie before he died. I am more of an Eastwood and Glen Ford western fan than the Duke, but that movie caught my attention to interest me more in the John Wayne westerns. Your poem does the man justice. Thanks, Ruby.

A great tribute.
