Lovely art that complements your poem very well. I liked the rhyme and good flow. All about a farmer's daughter who fell in love with the wrong guy.

Thank you for the review Ine. Nancy
Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Wow! Being a farmers wife and raising six farmer's daughters I got quite a laugh from this cleverly crafted poem .
The dialogue and dialect just add to the authentic feel of the poetry. It sort of reminds me of the English and Irish tales.
I thoroughly enjoyed such a cleverly written and light-hearted tale.
Gossips always seem to get the facts wrong, and in this case, the last laugh was saved for the farmer's daughter.
A virtual six.

Comment from GE Parson
LOL LOL That's really amusing. I was wondering where you were going with it, but knowing you a I do knew it was going to end up on a good humorous note.
If I can kick awake my lazy muse, I might try writing a counter part from the Farmer Boy's view point...but if you have one don't not post it on account of what I said.
God bless
MARANATHA!!!
Your Ks. Friend,

Comment from Jean Lutz
A jolly reminder that life on the farm ain't so quaint after all. Good thing Finn was fast on his feet and the lass knew out to spin. Fun read, excellently delivered.

I enjoyed the dialect and the clever little story lying within your poem. The artwork was perfect for setting the scene. Thanks for sharing.

I liked the humour, cute story within a poem about a wayward lass who rolled in the hay with a farmer. She wasn't that dumb! Excellent rhyming and a fun read. Faye

She rolled in the hay with a whiskey drummer Faye. She set her cap for him and won. LOL Thanks for the review. Nancy
Comment from Acquired Taste
Nancy, what a fun read and gave me a smile at this ungodly hour this morning. Love the accent/language and laughed a good bit at the ending: Finn didn't touch me knickers. Can just imagine her sitting with a grog and telling this to her friends. Nice going on this one. Jean

So, deception to be sure, but perhaps more on her side than his!
Your abab rhyming quatrains roll the story along smoothly and the dialect adds to the charm.
This might have been a good piece to enter for the upcoming ABAB contest if I didn't already have the winning poem all finished and ready to post! :O)

Hahaha I wanted to and then I posted it before I entered the contest. It's just a good thing for you I missed out! HAHA.
Seriously Thanks for the review Steve. Good luck to you with your entry! Nancy
Comment from Kenneth Schaal
How positive this is Nancy, and what a lilt! Nice job mimicking the old English Irish dialect, too. A tad on the naughty side brings a touch of realism to the verse. The last quatrain's so clever I dismiss completely the consonant rhyme of 'tale' and 'tell.' A fun read. Kenny

Comment from Dom G Robles
This is a mastery poem.The Rhyme and Rhythm is excellent. Eight stresses and four lines to a stanza. It looks like a country style in musical tone. Some lines are of the western type, and I love it with all the rhyme and rhythm and the expressions. The ending is a twist, beautiful and irony, I suppose. The picture, as well, spells the looks of a country girl. Dom
