She Saved My Ass
During an altercation
in a bar one night
she saved my ass
my back was turned
he came up with a knife
she hit him with a bottle
she was from the mountains
they believe in hard things
it was then I fell in love
big arms and shoulders
every inch of her 6 foot tall
it was such a simple thing
when we were leaving
she stomped hard on his hand
after that the graceful years
Lord she was so tender
her feet were lovely &
she loved me very well.

ReplyDeleteLol that is so good - tough and tender. Lovely piece hangs together nicely
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lizz. Glad you liked it!
Deletequite a love story! full of drama...
ReplyDeletevery funny and dry, Rob. Elements of a country and western, perhaps even Americana, circa 1940s too (don't ask me why...I have to think on it) - it's a terrifically droll love poem!
ReplyDeleteThank you both for listening!
