BLACK CAT RANCH

Sunday Muse #148.  I like to think that some escape!


Candy wasn’t like the rest

She refused to sell her soul

She did what she had to do

Until she reached her goal


The faceless men would come and go

But she held herself apart

Drawn to her air of mystery

They took her body, not her heart


She’d get her education

Four years to a degree

She said  goodbye to the Black Cat Ranch

And hello to the university.


The Ranch remained still the same

The faceless men still randy

The girls still talk of how they wish

They all could be like Candy.

  6. I like your ranch and it's inhabitants theme. We had for many years the "Chicken Ranch" out west of town. I hope some of them had a Candy experience.
    I hope you will forgive me today, I was practicing writing, bad job though, Gothic Fiction Poetry.

  8. Love the name, Black Cat Ranch". I could see this continuing as a short story, or several.
