Black Sheep Contest

Black Sheep Her beleaguered parents, had it with her. That daughter and her mouth, forever causing a mighty stir! They went to downtown Chicago, To see Dr.Zhivago, hoping this might quiet her. But no, in their daughter, it was more like an intellectual stir. She stopped going to Mass and left the Catholic Church. Her Father weeping, he was far more than hurt. That spunky young woman dropped out of college. Then, in the dead of winter, eloped to the West Coast in a Midwest blizzard, she happily left, without their knowledge. Yes, she became part of the 50's Beat Generation. And the "Tune In, Drop Out of Work Nation." Both parents, several years later at a total loss, when she sported a huge peace symbol! And an Indian headband,such a zany daughter, looking always for a new struggle? She finally settled down, moving  to the West Coast. Where they found out, she was  having far more fun than most. They wanted her back in the boring Midwest! Alas, she had fallen in love with  the gods of individuality and wildness. The Black Sheep found ultimate happiness you see, in being beholden to no one. She, the Black Sheep, found her  home, heart, life and her love, most assuredly! Under the glorious, amber lights of the Golden Gate Bridge on the wings of a sea gull! She, in her free and glorious state, baptized him....poetry! July 14,2019 10:30 pm  Entered in Anthony Slausin's Contest.. "Black Sheep"
