Mail Order Brides Challenge One

Cynthia Bartlett on Jun 22, 2009

Soft, Water, Love, Technology, Science, Disaster. Words supplied by Tahnee Smith.

My head lying softly upon the grass listening to the water flowing from the falls

Dreaming of a life different than today

Absent of technology, simpler in a way

Finding love via the internet, how real can it be?

Reminiscent of the old days of mail order brides

Posting photographs and some small details

Science covers a multiple of ills

Still, relationships, if one is not careful

Ends in disaster and situations against their wills.

Nicely done. I see lots of mail order brides sometimes I wonder whether they are doing it on their own free will or being forced..thanks for sharing this ..

That’s a good question.

Thanks for reading.

Did you know that in the 1800’s the mail order bride was mostly a con-game to get money from men. If you ever find one of those old pamphlets showing mail order brides, you got some money in your hands. They are highly collectible.

Enjoyed this.
