I found the author's words to be interesting, descriptive, educating,
and creative. Thank you for the author's notes - I like hearing the background info. I thought about what the author stressed in this poem and will pay more attention to the words in folk songs.
Have a great day, Nancy!

Folk music has pretty powerful words and tunes for changing your heart. It is attitude and way of life. All people on this earth have some folk music in their blood. I liked the story. Quite interesting for a guy from a non-English speaking country with a different culture. Good luck!

I have always taken things like this with a grain of salt. Still, they are fun to listen to, as is your great sing song type poem. Absolutely enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing. :)

This tells the truth that country/folk songs and westerns overplayed the good and the bad for effects. I think you also make clear that their are consequences to all acts

I enjoyed your poem as well as your story. Great rhyme and rhythm, and it flowed very nicely. This was how the old Westerns portrayed outlaws and heroes, and we always knew how they would end...not so much anymore. Congratulations, I loved it.

Folk Songs
by nancy_e_davis

Great job, Nancy. We are all heroes in our own minds and spend a life time fighting The bad guys. Your poem flows well. It draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

I am glad you re-posted this one because I missed it the first time around. I am a little confused as you why you didn't re-post as a re-posted poem. It's posted as an original. Anyway, it's very well written and I enjoyed reading it.

    I wasn't offered the right certificate. I would have had an extra day had I been able to use that one. Thanks for the review and stars, Barbara. Have a lovely day. Nancy:)

Delightful--colorful tale told in jaunty rhythm and perfect rhyme--point taken as regards note--though you skillfully convey that in the poem itself. Excellent!

This work has reached the exceptional level

Your history story as told in the poem was creatively penned in a measured meter, with internal and end rhymes adding additional colours to its beauty and smooth flow. I am motivated to consider writing one following your style. I hope you permit me. Well done, dear Nancy.

I enjoyed your poem, Nancy. I agree with you about how stories can affect what others think of those characters who are real life. You did a great job with the internal rhymes, the end rhymes, the smooth flow, and your message,
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
