Poetic Obituaries: [Kenneth] Moore had been writing poetry

since he was in high school in 1964.

In 1986, he began performing his poetry in Phoenix, Ariz., coffee houses and other poetry venues, but after a stint from 1989--91 as a working cowboy in western New Mexico, his writing and performing blossomed into what became commonly known in the area as full blown cowboy poetry.

Moore will be remembered by area residents, more so in the southern part of Cibola County, as the "Cowboy Poet."
