Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a very thought-provoking, descriptive piece. I'm impressed by the way the increasingly vivid, specific details paint the picture of a desperate outlaw--based on appearance--who turns out to be the new preacher! :-)

Comment from Joanne Gill-Maddick
This is excellent writing. Goes to show for sure you can't judge a book by its cover. Nice rhyming scheme. I really like this especially the ending. I'm the new preacher his name his Burch . Can anyone point me in the direction of the church. Awesome.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Willie, this is an extremely well written poem in rhyming couplets that tells a good story. I must admit I was not expecting the ending - but as you say "You can't tell a book by it's cover". Good example in your story. Good, and very appropriate picture to accompany - well done. Regards Dorothy x

Hello, Willie,
I like your poem about reverend Bush. He looked like a bum but was a preacher. I agree with you, you can't tell a book by its cover.

Comment from karenina
Hah! I love that sharp right turn at the end... You brought me down stony path and who knew it would turn into primroses? Great little couplets that work so well as I could imagine each patron's eyes falling on this "murderer" and forming the entirely wrong impression! My kind of poem!--Karenina

Comment from mermaids
You surprised me with the ending. I enjoyed your poem, it reads like a mini movie. It is true, one never knows about an individual, we must not judge people. I like how people thought this individual was a killer and he is a preacher. Excellent two line verses with a smooth flow of rhyming words.

Comment from Eternal Muse
Oh, my God? Who could have thought that this dirty looking man, who people took for a killer, would be the new priest? Still need to shower, though (lol).
Excellent imagery and rhymes. Great visuals.
I thorough enjoyed this, thank you for sharing.
This was funny:
He was weeks past a shave, with long, dirty hair.
He smelled like a wet horse but didn't seem to care,
lol. You are right - can't judge a book by its cover, though.
