Hi,
Great lyrics, I would love to hear them sung to music. The story line is so realistic, there have been women who has lost all their life savings to one of these type of con men.

well done, Mary

This is an excellent poem and I can hear it being sung to music. Your rhyming and rhythm are perfect. Your story is interesting and very well told. All in all an excellent read.
Warm regards, Wendy

To me this is one of the best lyrics you have written...The timing, the cadence and the rhyme are really terrific...you just float thru this. I like the repetition at the end (your first two lines) which seems to 'package' the piece...sum it up. The imagery of this strange, dark (demonesque) man coming into town is really well painted. Really good job!

Brett, great job on this. Has the feel of a country song. I love the meter, which I believe is Australian (I call it Gertrude meter, but that's a long story).

duh (or duh duh) DUM duh duh duh DUM duh duh duh DUM duh duh duh DUM etc.

Found a tiny error to fix:
and, he's wanting you today. << Remove the comma.

Your poem sings, even without the music. The rhythm is impeccable. The slant rhyme at the start sets a casual mood. Beware the man who appears to hold all the aces. Some are sure to have been hidden up his sleeve. Like him, you'll need a sleeve big enough to wipe away the tears.

Our poet has a good turn of phrase and he speaks with a suggestion of the understatement. So he sketches the difference between a man and a woman since time immemorial; the root cause of the pain in a relationhip between the two sexes. What can you expect from a man; "The cards are stacked against him and he's going to have to draw." The point is, love for a man is a thing apart. It is a woman's whole existence. I think our poet is something of a philosopher. I think he is fond of humanity. -Ekim 777

Love the poem, Brett. In fact, I've liked everyone I've read of yours. This one is a real country and western song, and it rolls beautifully of the tongue as I read it aloud. It was a pleasure to read. xsx Sandra.

Hello Brett Matthew West,
Nice piece of Song Lyrics Poetry meeting the desired norms and beautifully depicting its theme!
Wording is simple, impressive and perfectly matching the theme.
Smooth and captivating flow from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme and lively imagery.
Starting and End with these two lines: "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." - Superb!
