One Single Impression: The Stranger
The Stranger
He was tall dark and handsome
tall I like, handsome oh-oh
worries me the dark where come
far away those lands of woe
Him she loves top on her mind
can't be wrong with all her heart
he's so sweet gentle and kind
don't you please take us apart
Honey dear you're still so young
not for you he's much older
round the world I know his mind
just his kind makes him bolder
Slipped away the two of them
now she's lost her heart and soul
will she know heartache from him
mother's lost her only foal
Heifer's in expecting way
way too young new mom and self
oh they say sin doesn't pay
mated well swells master's pelf

Sole?
Good and poignant story in many ways,
very nice poetry..
Sweet and clever! I enjoyed this.
I really thought this was a love poem between humans until. . . nice twist and great sense of humor.
humor -- yes. Like the dramatic build up, and the funny twist.
That was sneaky saving the pictures til the end. Nice Work.
Written like a dad who knows. Oh to recognize the wisdom!
Jim, you're up next week with "thinking." Please send your poem and/or image to my by Friday.
sweet as clover with a surprising twist. well done!
Clever take on the prompt! I liked the range of this piece and the surprising turns.
Putting yourself not only in a mother's place but in an animal's? That's just mooooovelous.
I really liked that and the pictures were adorable...nice twist on the end as well~
I wondered where that was going.
Reminds me of when my dad, who raised herefords, bought a charolais bull. We had the cutest pink and white calves!
tall..dark..and handsome...i think i have heard them before :) oh those days of dreaming, and then soem waking up...but theyre all so worth learning
Jim my friend. I have been ill for a log time. Don't know if i can write and post again. I am depressed I guess.
Wanted to stop and tell you how much I enjoyed this poem. It is a puzzle within a puzzle. Well done.
love, Melanie-bd
