Beware to whom you give your heart. Some use it to keep score. This is a very well written poem with a dark view point. There is very good imagery.

This is an absolutely excellent piece of poetry and the rhyming and flow totally wonderful.
It reminds me of the real old Cowboy days. Well done indeed.

You have the best sense of cadence, Brett! It's just amazing to me. I mean, each poem reads so well and so smoothly, and I just want to sing (trust me, you don't want me to do that) :(
I loved the storyline and of course the way you ended as you began...
You write some great country songs.
Cat

Hi Brett. This is a great poem with good story line that flows well and rhyming well. Interesting and clearly expressed in compact well written stanzas. Marilyn/BeasPeas

Love "There's a stranger on the back roads driving slowly into town. He's a hundred miles from nowhere and the sun is going down. " These poems of warning women are archaic in a sense since if we're true friends with someone we automatically steer her clear of them.

Thank you...for posting such a poignant and powerful futile love, poem!
Sounds very much like a father, big protective brother, or true and loyal
friend would give To a daughter, sister, or protective friend to a too
naïve or too foolish girl or young woman. Perfect pic choice, gambler
on the loose and cold seducer on the prowl.
Thanks for sharing, I hope some lonely gals read and take heed!

I saw the cards and instantly thought of The Gambler by Kenny Rodgers. Nice rhyme and flow. I like the change up from notch on his belt to notches on his pistol. The ladies better watch out for this one!

Cool, I liked it very much. I can hear it being sung. Do you ever put these to music, not that I would know how. I did some syllable counting to try and understand, very interesting. Nice work.

Thanks for your comments and support. Also looking for feedback on the possibility of publishing my lyrics in a book of poetry. Any thoughts along those lines?

reply by valerieellis on 30-Apr-2015

You DEFINITELY need to!! The world need them! As good as your lyrics are, I'm sure a musician would love to put them to music. (I may even try :-) Go for it!! God bless :)
