POEM: bonny barbara allen

explanation:
its almost like a mock romeo and Juliette scenario. he loves her to an incredible point thats straddling the line between admiration and plain creepy obsession. the voice of the poem isn't one of the male character with the stalker potential. the author is its voice (Scott) and writes the passion and the things that the man says in a sarcastic manor that makes fun of the obsessive nature of the man he writes about....wait...does that even make any sense? *shrugs*
will it be ruined as a song?:
ha. hell yes! =] the poem is already perceived as quite juvenile. the idea of adding something like a little jig tune to it would probably take away the poem's "deep" potential. i think that it is well-written and if you can get past the fact that the main character practically wrote the stalkers hand book, you can see the good parts. for instance: the man dies and wants nothing more than to know that barbara allen knew that he loved her. she found him annoying for lack of a better term, but when he dies she is hit with a ton-o-bricks. she realizes that she loved him more than she wanted to admit.

you never know what you have had until you lose it...
