Sheep's Skin

Shepherd boy seeks out a green knoll Close by a clear watering hole Sheep lazily graze after noon Eyes heavy, the boy slumbers soon Whoa, What? -- He wakes up with a start Sheep's skin, by a wolf torn apart

Wiley wolf - poor shepherd boy - I almost see a biblical scene in front of me. Lovely poem, Hugs, Jennifer.

It is rather 'pastoral,' as they used to call it. Thanks for the comment, Jennifer. :) gw

Survival of the fittest, I'm afraid, Comrade. An unguarded lamb is 'low hanging fruit' for this wolfman. LOL. ~ gw

Big bad wolf is making some interesting poems; I am thinking there is some heavy Bible reading going on these days in the wolf den. I had never heard of a LAY poem; I am going to have to see what this is all about. Thanks for the education and the ending which had my eyes pop.

Pop, pop, pop. Sounds like Rice Krispies or the Fourth of July. LOL. Thanks, Caren. Best wishes, gw

G'day Gershon ... takes a turn for the worst. Nicely presented Gershon - Lindsay

Indeed, it does, Lindsay. That shepherd boy was negligent. But stuff happens. Thanks for the support, Gershon
