Young Rebel Poem by Lee Crowell
Young Rebel
my father said 'son you've got to
make that run
if you'll ever begin to win'
but dad
I can't lose
if I refuse
to choose
your game that won't allow sin
my mother said 'Lee why can't you
see
that it's time in your life for a wife? '
but ma I've spent my eyes on
the tattooed thighs
of a girl with a pearl handled knife
like a lynx
on the prowl past the fox and the owl
she breezes the ground
without sound
and I know
you won't find that she's the marrying kind
there's no part of her heart
to be found

oh wow that poem was amazing i love it that is one of my favorites
touching poem, i the way you twist your words together, some of the deeper meanings to this are a little over my head but i like the poem non the less.
Your poem reminds me of a song by Jeremy Fisher about a hapless young fellow smitten by a girl who runs guns. He says, ' Her love is a scar that never heals.' The best words I've 'heard' tonight are '..like a lynx on the prowl past the fox and the owl..'
You shore aren't the marryin' type pardner...[mebbe fictitious on paper, that is], but is she a dream or? ? By the way, 'appy 56th birthday in advance. Keep writin pardner.. Cheers. Subroto
