What a beautiful story to create from a challenge.
Needless to say, your rhyme and meter were perfect.
Her sitting there quietly is probably what saved her from the Indians. And there was her true love coming for her. Oh, wow!
I know this has nothing to do with a review, but I have to share this with you. Several years ago, one of my sons and I were at an animal sanctuary. The lady running it would go into the compound with the lions and tigers and walk around with them. Well, a young tiger, probably about a year old, slipped through the gate and was running free. I stood perfectly still, but my son took off running. HAHA. I told him later, "You know who the tiger would have run after. You, because to took off running." He said, "I don't care. I was heading for the nearest tree, and he'd have had to catch me in my butt." 8-)

Comment from dragonpoet
What a beautiful story of love in the old west. She tells the story to her grandchildren about how their grandfather saved her from the Indians from
his seat mounted on a Union Cavalry horse. You get the feeling this is a story told
of a person who died in the interim
Keep writing

A very well written picture this, challenge poem. I think you did well with poem meeting the challenge. The words flowed very easily line to line and tell the story of a very brave woman for that time riding the train across the country.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello sandramitchell, Your poem is filled with adventure and pulls the reader quickly along to the very end. I especially liked:
I'd heard the whistle loud and clear, I'd heard some shooting too,
and looking out the window I did not know what to do.
I saw so many Indians, with paint on every face,
and though the train was going fast, their horses had kept pace.
(Vivid imagery and I could feel the fear and anxiety within.)
Silky rhyming throughout. A pleasure to read ... A woman who knows what she wants and journeys to get her man, and her man becomes the "white night." Very nice. An Old fashioned love story is exactly what I needed to read today -- light and airy. Great story in a poem.
Your poem made me smile. Good luck with the picture challenge. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Aww, thank you so much, Ben. How did you guess my take was on a John Wayne movie? LOL. What I liked most about his films, there was no bad language in them. Just shows how unnecessary it is. I'm sending you a big hug my dear friend for the lovely 6 stars. Bless your heart! :) Sandy. xxx

Thank you so much, my sweet friend, for the lovely review. I wrote this one straight away, 2 weeks ago, so I wasn't late this time. Then I concentrated on my story, I'll be posting it in a minute. :)
I think you are psychic, Linda! Ian had his first eye done today, it's sore, he told me. He has the next one done in two weeks. His cancer has stabled, my friend. But we had some more bad news yesterday, so we are all feeling a bit fragile. My daughter-in-law had breast cancer 5 years ago, and has been cleared all this time, but yesterday she was given the news that it's back. She's only 35. They decided after the first time not to have children even though she had some of her eggs frozen, now it's back again. It is such a vile illness, Linda, all the nice people get it. We will just keep the prayers going, for Sarah and Ian and for all those sufferers in the world. There is so many of them. It's so upsetting. Linda, you have been a constant source of encouragement and love, and I can't thank you enough. God bless and keep you safe, my dear friend. xxx Sandra.

you know your so welcome Sandra...
I am so glad Ian's eye surgery went well...it will be sore a few days...and know they will help him see...as long as his cancer is stable...he will be fine...you are both in my prayers...
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law...it seems like Sandra everytime I turn around...someone I know has it...two of my good friends have it...one is my neighbors here...I help watch her kids...and one of my friends where I used to live...and I know others...both have gone through chemo...and rad...there are so many things now they can do for breast cancer they couldn't do five years ago....just keep the faith...all will be fine...I will light a candle for Sarah next to Ian's...and I will put her in my prayers...I will have my friend put her in her prayer group with Ian...and you are in my prayers too...love you guys...much...God Bless you all my sweet angel...I will be fine...God is so close...I feel Hum stepping on my toes...LOL...love ya Linda xxoo Hi to Ian...xxoo
