0 plainglazed Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Wow, after a long dry spell, seems am back in tune. Really surprised as that was just a quick shot. Usually am studying yours for quite some time. Dont know exactly why even but that last line just popped that name in my head. Certainly another vivid and excellent metaphor. Thanks deannaart!

Question
deannaart
The shepherd herds his sheep
Down into the pen
They would always follow him
And no other again
They listen raptly
To all he has to say
Following him blindly
From him they'll never stray
Then the day comes
He shears them clean
He takes their wool
They've still not seen
He rounds them up
And takes them to slaughter
Now he's the only one
Left holding a water
