Daniel Turner Poet Rhyme

Country Bound Preterition

I'm just an old country boy
City life's not for me
In the country I felt free
This city life is chokin me

I got my clothes packed in a matchbox
A pocket full of affairs 
My thumb up in the air
And I'm country bound, I swear

Had to hobo me a train
This boy was country bound
Far from that city crowd
Back to my old hometown

Just trying to see if I understood what I was supposed to be writing. It was fun to write anyway, probably should add more. Peace my friend, we country boys have to stick together:) Sorry about OU.

Andrea Dietrich April 7, 2016 at 8:39 PM Daniel, I wrote one for this contest too and am still not sure it reads as preterition either. but what the heck. This is COOL!!! Daniel Turner April 8, 2016 at 7:23 AM Went to read yours and could not find it. Daniel Turner April 7, 2016 at 8:49 PM Using the song as an example this is what I came up with. We'll see. I'm glad you dropped in, at least now I don't feel like such an idiot. I wasn't really understanding of what I was supposed to be writing. Thanks for the smile:):)
