Ruth, Daughter of Svenks

She was Ruth, their only daughter Set out one day to roam the globe Instructed to the nth degree Dressed with a flare of exotic She was cultured, had travelled far A lady of society Affectionately loved her folks Though their advanced age sadly showed Unable to maintain upkeep Of home and grounds, just way too much Modest and proud of their hard years I wonder what became of them Beyond doubt their days were numbered All answered the cycle of life She set out to conquer the world Ruth she was, daughter of the Svenks AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on March 11, 2018 for contest MID MARCH 2018 STANDARD sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

Fascinating. Truly fascinating. I'm so intrigued by this...Did you, just by chance, happen to set Ruth Svenk up as the "anti-Ruth," in opposition to her Biblical counterpart, who refused to leave her 'adopted mother,' Naomi? Tell me more....And/or...continue her saga in a new poem. Please....Hoping, :)gw

I wish... I never found out any more... It will forever remain a mystery. How about if you write a part 2 ! That's a challenge, Gershon. I'd look forward to enjoying that.

Very well written Line and I enjoyed it. I hope Ruth came back to look after her folks once she had satisfied her conquest. All the best for the contest...Maria
