Rodney Crowell and Roy Clark, "She's crazy for leaving, thank God and Greyhound."
The end rhymes and informal meter work okay for a dude about to beat up a bus.

The poem really sounds like song lyrics. Nice aabb rhyming. Like the personification of the greyhound. Reads real smoothly. Wonderfully written. Les

Glad you enjoyed this one. It is Country lyric, as most of my poems are.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I can hear this in music, Brett. It would make a fantastic country song. They always have that sadness about them, losing a loved one, or similar. And, the lesson isn't learned until they have gone, that's when you realise you need them. Too late. Excellent. :) Sandra

Gave it a five with some reservations....last verse a little weak. Thought you moved the poem along with each verse adding and supporting the previous verse.
Good construction.....would make a great song.
Despite my observation on the last verse, think this is a good piece of work.
Thanks for sharing.

It looks like he screwed up, and she took off on the bus. 'She was tired of my lying and always stepping out '
I love this line: 'Destination nowhere but broken promise land ' I could hear it more than once in a song. Work it into a chorus.

The fifth verse is actually the chorus of the lyric. Glad you enjoyed this little ditty.

That works, too.

this is an excellent write, brett, you did an excellent job writing this poem about the man who lost the love of his life because of his cheating and had to watch his love get on a greyhound bus to leave his butt behind. I enjoyed reading it

Ah, the traveling highway blues. She left me for another. An I'm hurtin bad brother. Left in the middle of the night, It aint right, it aint right. Now I'm riding these lonesome roads. Cause that bitch took my dog. Sorry couldn't help myself, your poem kinda reminded me of that. I think it was one of my entries in the bad poetry contest. Yours, however is an excellent poem, and I could see it as a song as well. Good stuff there, Brett.

Different from Thank God and Greyhound you're gone. Drove those things in the early 60s. Nice poem. You made it sing. Thanks for sharing.
