This is beautifully rhymed and the intro verse and its repetition gives it the eerie feeling I'm sure you intended. The interpretation might be many things; the gold digger looing for financially secure widows, the predator who seek to exploit children, or the serial killer looking for another victim. It toys with the reader's thought.

This is a really good poem and I liked the way it flowed. The structure of the poem was good and I liked the style of writing as well. The picture added to the poem. Thank you for sharing.

This is an interesting way to bring up a strangers lure dear Brett! Someone to make your heart beat faster and faster until you are ready to explode. A strangers love is pure lust in my humble opinion.
Thank you for sharing!
Blessings!

    haha... I started to write 'write on!' because reviewers were writing that to me and I thought it is a cool phrase.

Brett this is a sad commentary on the life of a lonely woman. I have dealt with those who wanted me because they saw me as one to be conquered. I no longer want to deal with men like this and am quite happy to be alone. Blessings Patricia

This is an excellent country music poem. I can hear the words sang in my ear in a gravelly voice accompanied by a steel guitar. This poem possesses great musicality and images that resonate in my memory and my heart.

The only suggestion I would make is to add a comma before "darling" for clarity in this sentence: "He's a danger to you darling. . ."

This country song poem engaged my imagination. Thank you for sharing.

Another one I could sing from first view. The tunes just jump into the mind. This has to be the sign of a good lyric, particularly one that is going to be set to a relatively simple piece of music as most country style music is. This is a simple and universal story. Very effective.

I admire the poet who can be so imaginative that he plucks a a theme seemingly out of the air, and does it brilliantly as you have done so here! The poem is articulate, unpretentious, it uses language perfectly in its image endeavours, the narrative is smooth and expressive, nice couplet rhyming with proximates, well done, blessings, Roy.

This story/poem has a dark and daunting mood. It warns the girl about this self focussed gambler who's conquering hearts and bodies for miles around. It's a real C&W tale of dirty dealings, a poor woman scorned and a trail of broken hearts. Your verse flows well through good rhyme and rhythm. A very entertaining piece.

    Thank you for your comments and support. Trying to decide if I should pursue building my lyrics into a poetry book and looking for feedback about that from people familiar with my lyrics.

    You are welcome Brett, personally I would go for the book my friend.
