The Ranch Fence (re-write of The Fence)

[onepapa]

Hey papa-

I like the stark images-- just like a fence.  

I'm good with this one all the way until the last stanza.

The poem is more about the "generational thing" then it is actually building the fence.  I think this could have one more stanza to show the "tension" between papa and grandson.  

I just want more of that tension, and maybe that's where the come-along and other tools can be put to good use building that relationship.

Thanks!

Mark,

Thanks for commenting. This was certainly about passing things from generation to generation so I will look harder at the tension/tools idea....good suggestion.
