Cowboy poetry is a form of poetry which【B1】______a tradition of instant composition carried on by workers on cattle drives and ranches(大牧场). After a day of work, cowboys would gather around a campfire and 【B2】______one another with tall tales and folk songs. Illiteracy was common, so poetic forms were employed to help memory.
Cowboy poetry is distinctive(特别的)both in its【B3】______specific subject matter and its traditional use of rhyme and meter. While the range of emotional landscapes explored in cowboy poetry are the traditional province of poetry, from joy to grief, from humor to spirituality, the particulars【B4】______the American West: horses, cattle, fire, storms, mythic figures of cowboys and ranchers, and the【B5】______wilderness. In their subject matter, cowboy poets tend to write in a traditional, rhyming(押韵的)style. They echo【B6】______songs more than modern poetry.
Contrary to common belief, cowboy poetry does not actually have to be written by cowboys, though adherents would claim that authors should have some connexion to the cowboy life such that they can write poetry with an "insider’s【B7】______".

It now produces almost none, and there is currently no new Western series to be found on television or basic cable. But the departure of the heroic cowboy has opened some room for gentler, more【B9】______voices. Although it is growing, their audience is【B10】______: unlike Western films, cowboy poetry is mostly produced by Westerners, for Westerners. [br] 【B2】
